Even destiny serves as a clue to a deduction.

And the light of truth pierces through the most mysterious case.

The "Hope" in the case comes with Tokyo approaching.

What is to be with the two police officers?

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

On board the Shinkansen from Osaka,

we run into Officers Sato and Takagi escorting a suspect.

However, a bomb scare happens inside the train.

Officer Sato heads for the location.

Meanwhile, the suspect the officers are escorting

decides he wants to go to a restroom.

Reluctantly, Officer Takagi takes him to the john without his backup.

There, the suspect tries to commit suicide.

However...

"Escort on the Shinkansen (Part 2)"

Yes.

This is undisputedly a murder case.

Murder?

Yes.

First, the culprit set up a bomb scare in the train car at the back.

I was forced to go there.

In no way that Officer Takagi will not suspect,

the culprit sent a message to Ogura,

telling him to go to the restroom in the train car ahead of him.

Ogura was made to pretend to commit suicide

with the knife and fake blood hid in inside the toilet.

That way, Officer Takagi will remove his handcuffs to call me.

When Officer Takagi left, the culprit who was hiding...

immediately went to the toilet.

And killed Ogura.

But the knife was stabbed deep.

I looked inside the john to check before Ogura entered,

I didn't see any knife or fake blood.

Probably the knife didn't have any blade from the handle,

it must have been a fake knife.

The hiding place was probably...

the rack behind this diaper-changing table.

There must have been fake blood and knife here with a memo.

With the table raised, it can't be found.

What memo?

A memo describing a fake plan to dupe Ogura.

What?

The memo must have said, "I planted a bomb".

Use the fake blood and knife and pretend to commit suicide.

When the cop is gone,

I will cut the handcuffs lose

and let you escape when the bomb explodes".

But, why did you call Sato on the cell phone?

Well...

Right at that moment, we were in a tunnel,

and the cell phone didn't...

Yes.

There must have been a watch with the memo,

and the memo must have said,

"Take action when the train enters Shintanna Tunnel."

We've been framed.

But, with all this blood,

the culprit must have a lot of blood on him as well.

You're right.

People will notice if you go back with blood all over you.

Did you find somebody like that on the train on your side, Ran?

Yes.

After Officer Takagi took the suspect to the restroom,

I was watching the door.

But, only Officer Takagi returned.

The culprit left Car #3

and headed toward Car #1, toward the head of the train.

That'll make him hard to find.

What's this?

Something inside his bloody hand.

Something attaches.

So, that's it. The culprit used this for...

-I told you to watch him. -All right.

But, how could the culprit send the message "Go to the toilet" to Ogura,

without Officer Takagi noticing?

Hey, Takagi.

Yes.

After I went to the back car of the Shinkansen,

did you see anybody suspicious?

No one in particular.

After you left, I think two or three passengers passed by our seats.

Who were they? Do you remember their faces?

Well, it was just for a very short time.

I remember!

Only three passed by the aisle.

Two men were holding newspapers

and another man carried a can of coffee.

Do you think you can identify those three?

Yes.

What?

Inside the restroom...

A man was killed?

Then, why do we have to be interrogated by police?

Well, because just before the man left for the restroom,

you three passed by the seats.

We suspect that one of you had signaled this man to go to the restroom.

If you don't mind,

we would like to know why you had passed by his seat at that time.

"Tatsuro Iwakuni (47)" -My seat was four rows behind you.

When I heard the noise In the car behind me getting louder,

I moved to the car ahead of me

because I wanted to listen to the radio.

I see.

How about you?

Well...

"Norio Tokuyama (51)" -I bought a can of coffee from a vending machine

and was returning to my seat.

At that time, I heard that there was a bomb in one of the restrooms.

I never thought that somebody got killed.

The next person.

"Akira Akashi (29)" -I got scared about the bomb

and moved to the train car ahead.

I have been told that Mr. Akashi and Mr. Iwakuni

were both holding newspapers in your hands when you passed by.

Yes.

Yes, I did, too.

Talking about newspapers, this guy was reading one, too.

-Right? -Well, yes.

Then, could all three of you bring the newspapers?

Also, don't forget to bring the can of coffee, Mr. Tokuyama.

So, all three of them boarded the train at Shin Osaka Station.

And before boarding, you bought newspapers at the kiosk on the platform.

Mr. Iwakuni had Keiba 7.

Tokuyama had the morning edition of Maicho Shimbun and a can of coffee.

Mr. Akashi got Nichiuri Sports.

None of these newspapers have the words "toilet" or "restroom"

written in large letters.

None of them have holes or traces of blood.

The same is true for the can.

There is no way a message to go to the toilet can be sent.

What? Wait.

This must be...

What? A man stabbed himself while sitting on the toilet?

Isn't that supposed to be suicide?

Well, that was a hoax to try to deceive us.

When we returned, the knife had been removed.

The blade of the knife was pointed the strange way.

Then...

Because it was hard to remove the knife,

he may have tried to stand up and pull it out with both hands?

He is right!

If he had pulled out the knife standing up,

you'll never know which way the knife will turn.

You mean to tell me that you suspect us just because of that?

Well...

Anyway, I refuse to remain after the train arrives in Tokyo.

Me, too.

Same here.

Pops.

What is it?

Do you remember what newspaper you bought

at the platform kiosk in Shin Osaka Station?

Well, let's see...

There's "Keiba 7",

"Nichiuri Sports" and canned coffee.

And I think, two packs of cigarettes.

What's that has to do with this?

Well, nothing.

My hunch is right.

The culprit said something strange.

That person...

How he made Ogura come to the restroom...

How he killed him...

I got it all.

Even something that you missed.

Suicide, of course! It was suicide, all right?

If it is not murder, we have nothing to do with it.

Well...

There's nothing more to talk about.

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for boarding the Nozomi.

We are now arriving at the terminal Tokyo Station.

It's time to leave, bye.

I'm leaving too, I need to pack my things.

Wait...

We're in trouble,

getting our man killed on the train,

and if we let the killer go,

we're seriously in trouble.

Especially you, Takagi, having been by his side.

You're really gonna get it.

No way.

Well, not to worry!

If you get fired, you can become

my assistant at the detective office.

Mr. Mouri?

Well, just a fleeting thought,

I can't make you my assistant just yet.

Whether or not I will hire you as an assistant,

depends on whether you go through with your job as a police officer.

I need you to see the man behind you.

You fulfill your duty and arrest the man as the murderer.

-What do you mean that man? -You found the murderer?

The problem was

how the culprit communicated the message to go to the toilet

without Officer Takagi noticing.

This is where attention is directed to.

When the three suspects passed by Ogura,

carrying newspapers and a can of coffee.

Do you get it, Officer Takagi?

There you see the characters suggesting the toilet.

But where?

Where can I find such characters?

There, can't you see that?

Title characters suggesting toilet...

The letters WC, meaning "water closet"...

in there.

Takagi!

You mean to tell me...

The World Cup?

Yes.

He carried the newspaper to make the headline clear to see.

When he passed by Ogura's seat,

he pointed to the letters WC to tell him to go to the toilet.

Isn't that right?

It was the man carrying this sports newspaper,

Mr. Akira Akashi?

What?

You must be kidding...

Don't try to make me the culprit just for carrying a sports newspaper.

You're right.

Associating the toilet with the letters WC

appears to be a bit unconvincing in logic.

That is why Mr. Akashi placed the bag

in the toilet cubicle in the bomb scare.

He made the train personnel

report this to the police officer right in front of him

in order to emphasize the word "toilet" to Ogura.

If he points to the letters W

and then points to the car ahead of him,

Without saying a single word,

Ogura will most certainly go to the toilet in the car ahead of him.

Probably...

Mr. Akashi was watching Officer Takagi

buy the tickets at the station on that day.

Boarded the same Shinkansen train

and executed his plot to kill...

Stop playing with me...

Oh! I'm sorry!

I thought you were asleep.

I have heard of you before,

but it was my first time seeing "Sleeping Kogoro" in action.

Sleeping Kogoro?

You mean the famous detective?

I don't care what kind of sleeper he is,

but there is no proof that I'm the killer

and you accuse me of the murder.

It is murder.

The knife we found inside the toilet was very unnatural.

Did you hear what I said before?

He tried to pull out the knife but couldn't.

So, he stood up and pulled it out with both hands.

Well...

Why do you have to stand up to pull out the knife with both hands?

Are you fool?

You need to stand up to reach for the knife with your left...

That's right.

Certainly, Ogura was chained to the hand bar at that time

and could not have used both hands unless he stood up.

What is strange is that

you have never seen the site of the murder. Why do you know?

Just my imagination.

When the man stabbed himself,

I heard that the police officer went to call the other officer.

So, I imagined that the handcuffs were chained to the hand bar.

Well, how did you know that the man had been in handcuffs?

When I pass by the seat of this police officer

that man was sitting beside him with both hands covered with cloth!

Then, how did you know that the victim was the same man?

Well, just from the course of developments...

Anyway, if you have so much to complain about me,

show me the proof!

Did you find my fingerprints on the weapon?

Do you see blood on my body?

Of course, there's no blood on you.

You have the victim hold the newspaper.

And then, you stabbed him through the newspaper...

The proof is seen in the bloody right hand of the victim.

A newspaper article was printed on the palm of his right hand,

since he was grabbing onto the newspaper.

I see.

That way, the killer won't get blood on his clothes.

What are you saying?

There is no hole or blood on my newspaper!

That's why you bought two copies.

What?

The same Nichiuri Sports that I bought at the station.

Right, Conan?

See? This is the same newspaper you have!

What proof is there that I bought two copies?

Look. This newspaper looks strange.

Look, the newspaper that Pops bought and a newspaper that you bought.

They looks similar, but the words are different.

You're right.

The headline on Father's copy says, "World Cup Hero Arrested",

but here, it says "World Cup Hero Interrogated".

That's the difference between newspapers sold at stations

and those sold elsewhere.

Unlike newspapers sold at convenience stores or delivered to homes,

Newspapers sold at railway stations are delivered late.

That's why, they can switch headlines at the last minute.

Because this is big news,

the headlines for newspapers sold at stations had been replaced.

Then, the newspaper that Mr. Akashi had...

He must have bought it at a convenience store.

It must have been very convenient to get Ogura to go to the toilet.

He probably bought another copy of the newspaper

while he waited for him to arrive at the station

to use to keep blood for soiling his clothes.

He bought the same sports newspaper,

just in case people suspect him

for not having the newspaper after the murder.

No! I just bought the same newspaper

because I found the difference in headlines interesting.

Then show me

the Nichirui Sports copy that you bought at the station.

It's...

I bet it's been flushed away in one of the toilets on the train.

We'll find out when we check the septic tanks.

Thank you for boarding the Shinkansen...

Darn it!

I'm not gonna...

let you get away.

You...

Now! You can't get away!

That was fantastic, Officer Takagi!

Fastball was the solution.

Oh, nothing...

Immediately after that,

Inspector Megure who had been waiting in Tokyo Station

arrested the killer

and he was taken away to the Police Agency.

The motive of the murder was to seal the lips of the victim

regarding that drug trade route.

Ironically, the killer confessed,

and the route was uncovered and destroyed successfully by the police.

Thanks to this contribution,

Officers Sato and Takagi managed not to get fired.

And Officer Takagi escaped the fate of becoming Pops' assistant.

And...

A pay cut! We got a pay cut!

On top of the measly pay we are getting in the first place.

Isn't that horrible?

Take it easy.

Actually, a pay cut affects promotion, doesn't it?

True.

Don't take it too hard.

You're a girl and you can always find a way out through marriage.

I'm not interested in marriage.

I want to work for the peace and security of the people of Tokyo.

Actually the problem is Takagi.

He's never gonna make it beyond the post

of deputy inspector until retirement.

By the way, Yumi.

Do you like Takagi?

What?

What?

What's that surprise on your face?

As a veteran officer in the same section,

I must know about my colleagues.

Yes...

So, what do you feel about him?

Do you like him or not?

Are you in love?

Not really...

I knew it.

He looked excited receiving a ticket from you. Poor boy.

You shouldn't be teasing a boy like him.

You should find the right person.

Well, okay.

Miwako has fallen.

She's fallen for Operation Ticket Chase.

I'd better call the other half of the pay cut pair about the good news.

You should find the right person.

Why should I be doing this? This waste of time.

Thank you very much for taking your time for coming here.

-No problem. -Don't take it too hard.

You can make it up with another successful arrest!

Officer Takagi, what's with you? Straighten up!

Straighten up?

We're going after the case on 4th Street!

Yes!

Officer Sato is as energetic as ever.

She also got a pay cut.

Something nice must have happened to her.

Next Conan's Hint:

"Red, White, Blue"

Next time...

Another story about me.... - Wrong, it's about me!
