Original subtitles

On this day, a police officer is dead.

(Seven years ago)

Please be careful not to push.

There is no need to rush.

Evacuation of this building is complete.

Roger.

(Kenji Hagiwara MPD Riot Squad, Bomb Disposal Unit) Well, then.

Time to work on this leisurely.

(Metropolitan Police Department)

(Jinpei Matsuda MPD Riot Squad, Bomb Disposal Unit)

You've done a good job, Matsuda.

How's Hagiwara?

Well...

Well, analysis shows a photosensitive trigger.

A white cord out from a mercury tilt switch.

From the LCD panel...

Matsuda. What's up?

Hagiwara! What's taking you so long?

Quick, tear it apart.

Hey, don't yell like that.

The timer has been stopped.

Have you finished already?

Yeah.

I opened it and found that the mechanism was quite simple.

For something like that...

Three minutes was long enough! Right?

How about yours?

I suppose this is the real one.

Yeah.

Anyway, finish ASAP and get back here.

I'll wait at the usual place.

Lucky me!

With an invitation like that,

I'm gonna work at full speed.

What!?

What's wrong?

Run, everybody!

Get out of here!

The timer started counting again!

Hagiwara?

Hey! Hagiwara!

Hagiwara.

Hagiwara!

And...

Another police officer...

(Three years ago) Everybody, let me introduce our new member.

As of today, he will start working with us

in the Criminal Investigation Division.

His name is Jinpei Matsuda.

Let's stop that, Inspector.

We can do without that kind of introduction.

I was stationed where I don't want to be, and I'm upset about it.

Well then, Sato!

Please show him the ropes...

Me, sir?

Hey, what kind of questioning was that supposed to be?

If you ask questions so recklessly like that,

nobody will answer you.

Gosh. You have been with us for six days now.

Can you at least listen to me a bit?

Typing a message?

You're pretty fast.

Yeah.

I just happen to be good with my fingers.

Is it your girlfriend?

No.

It's for my best friend.

Though I know he's not going to write back to me.

Four years ago... he is killed by explosion.

What?

You're not going? What are you talking about?

I have to wait here today.

If that guy's making any moves, today is the day.

Huh?

I am a knight of the round table.

Let the foolish, cunning police know that

today at noon,

we will bury the head of our fellow knight,

and in his memory, we will set off fireworks.

If you want to stop it, come to us.

We prepared the 72nd seat, and we're waiting for you.

Matsuda!

Stop right there!

The knight isn't here,

but there's something beneath the seat.

Is it... a bomb?

Wait, Matsuda!

I'm all right.

Let a pro handle this.

Wait a second, Matsuda!

Up until last year, he was a member of the explosive disposal unit

in the Security Task Force.

Four years ago, on January 6.

In that case, there were two bombs in two separate places.

Matsuda disposed of one bomb.

But Hagiwara didn't have enough time.

We have no choice but to leave it to Matsuda.

What's that?

It stopped.

We've got trouble.

Hello, Matsuda? Are you all right?

Yeah.

Three minutes would be more than enough for something like this.

To the brave police officer...

In praise of your courage, I will grant you a prize.

Wait, what are you talking about?

A clue to another, bigger firework that will be displayed,

three seconds before the explosion.

With best wishes.

These are the words displayed on the LCD panel right now.

I suppose if we stop the bomb and turn off the power,

we will never be able to read the clue.

It's very difficult to identify him in this crowd.

But I can guess where he set the other bomb.

Well, the battery is almost out.

Bye now.

Matsuda!

Matsuda!

Matsuda...

Allow me today, will you?

Everybody! Get out of here!

Matsuda!

Don't, Sato! It's too late!

Don't push!

But...

It's too dangerous! Back away, please!

But he's still there!

He's inside!

Sorry, Hagiwara.

I guess I couldn't keep my word.

Beika Central Hospital.

Huh?

Beika Central Hospital.

The other bomb is there!

(Jinpei Matsuda Beika Central Hospital) Please dispatch the bomb disposal squad immediately!

"I kinda liked you."

That death

left a deep wound

on a detective's heart.

(Love Story At Police Headquarters: Wedding Eve)

My name is Shinichi Kudo, a high school detective.

When I went to the theme park with my childhood friend, Ran,

I witnessed a suspicious transaction between some men dressed in black.

As I was engrossed in watching them,

I didn't notice one of them closing up on me from behind.

I was drugged, and when I woke up...

My body shrunk!

If they knew Shinichi Kudo is still alive,

they'd come after me and endanger people around me.

Professor Agasa advised me to hide my real identity.

When Ran asked for my name,

I blurted the name Conan Edogawa.

To get the information on those men in black,

I started living at Ran's place along with her father, a private detective.

But this time the story is about these two...

Detective Wataru Takagi is from First Division, Tokyo MPD's Criminal Investigation.

He's earnest, kind, and focused on his work.

He's a police officer with a great sense of justice,

but sometimes he struggles, resulting in some failures.

I'm not sure if that's a compliment or not...

But that makes you attractive, right? Even to Detective Sato...

Eh? Umm... That is...

Is that so, Sato?

Well, it's not like that.

It's not!?

I mean...

Umm... Detective Miwako Sato is Detective Takagi's senior.

With decisive operation and bold mobility,

she's a talented detective who hunts down criminals.

She's very popular among Junior Detective, and with her colleagues, too!

Uhhh... I guess...

We can't deny that...

What are you mumbling?

Say it clearly, Takagi!

Yes!

But you too, just now...

Did you say something?

N-no...

Is it gonna be okay...?

Anyway...

Let's begin!

Even though my body shrunk, my intelligence remains!

The greatest detective!

There's only one truth!

And then...

(I am a major leaguer, a strong pitcher and batter. It is now the beginning of an extra inning.)

Another case has occurred...

Shiratori!

This...

What's that?

I wanted to show this to you as soon as possible.

The memory in your heart that you cannot erase...

This is a chance to throw that away.

I am a major-leaguer, a strong pitcher and batter.

It is now the beginning of an extra inning.

The game starts at noon tomorrow.

It ends at three in the afternoon.

No use getting a good stopper ready.

Because I will win in the end.

And if you want to stop the game, come to me.

I will be waiting for you to climb up the bloody mound in the steel batter's box.

This is...

I am a knight of the round table.

Let the foolish, cunning police know that...

Let a pro handle this.

It's him.

It's him again.

He's not getting away.

Not this time!

I'll catch him myself.

Extra game?

He's toying with us.

Megure!

Yes, sir.

No extension is allowed.

Settle this case once and for all.

I have to get rid of it.

I've got to arrest the bomber and forget about the past.

Matsuda…

I think the culprit's motive is not money.

He probably has a grudge against the police,

holding 12 million people in Tokyo hostage.

Listen here, Takagi.

Make sure Miwako stays out of danger.

If it's the same bomber

that killed Matsuda with a bomb three years ago,

who knows what she might do.

The only one who can save Miwako is you.

No.

I won't let you take anyone from me.

Not anymore.

Never.

Red.

Red.

Red...

What's the matter with red?

It's bothering me.

The phrase "climb up the bloody mound".

There's another red over there.

Look, you can see it over there.

You're right.

I see.

What? The bomb is inside Toto Tower?

Yes.

I'm pretty sure.

What do you mean?

Tell me in more detail.

Yes.

Just before I got here, there was a small explosion,

and the elevator seems to have stopped.

The control room of the Ferris wheel suddenly blew up.

We can't stop the wheel.

It's the same as back then.

That bomb was set to lure police officers there. It's a trap!

I'll be there in five minutes, so wait there until I get there.

Do you understand?

Hey, we've got trouble!

It seems that a girl is trapped inside the elevator that stopped

because of the explosion.

Hey, Takagi, can you hear me?

Takagi, answer me!

Hey, Takagi!

Takagi!

Please, Takagi! Don't go!

I refuse.

Takagi!

According to the criminal, there are two bombs.

The first one is in Toto Tower's elevator.

And the other one is...

To the brave police officer.

What?

In praise of your courage, we will give you a prize.

A clue to a bigger firework will be displayed,

three seconds before the explosion.

With best wishes.

You understand, don't you?

Wait...

Extra inning.

Earned runs average.

Turn around.

Major Leaguer.

It can't be...

The location of the other bomb is...

Shinichi...

Let's go...

Three...

Two...

One...

Zero...

Boom!

Why?

How unfortunately.

I guess you took us lightly and didn't bother to hide yourself

when keeping watch over Teitan High School.

You lose.

Oh, no!

Sato!

Darn!

No!

Sato!

Wait!

I'm not the one...

I heard it in my head, a child's voice.

A guy like this...

A guy like this...

A guy like this!

Sato!

What do you think you're doing? Don't get in my way!

No, Sato!

Let me go! I said, let me go!

Because of him... Because of someone like him...!

That's why, let me go!

Just what do you think you're doing, Sato?

You always say this, right?

To contribute to citizens and the nation with pride and a sense of mission,

never to be caught up in fear and hate,

and at all times to respect the rights of people,

and perform our duties as police officers with justice.

That's what you've always said, right?

But...

But...

If you keep acting this way,

I'm sure Detective Matsuda will scold you.

Idiot...

Idiot...

Though I want to forget him...

Let me forget him!

You idiot!

You shouldn't forget him.

If it's a precious memory, you shouldn't forget it.

Once a person dies,

that person can only live within other people's memories.

Takagi...

(Jinpei Matsuda - Beika Central Hospital Delete message?)

(Deleted)

Bye bye.

Matsuda.

But...

But I won't forget you.

Yes, this is the love story about those two.

I wonder since when I...

started seeing Sato as a woman,

and began to notice her more?

There, that's a good boy.

Grow...

Grow bigger

and leave your ravages of flames behind.

Just once more.

Just once more and the eve will be over.

(Metropolitan Police Department) Metropolitan Police Department

is investigating an arson case.

Starting from Ayumi's testimony,

Conan and his friends also started to help with the investigation.

All right. Let's head to that back alley,

and check out the place.

You're going to check the site of the fire?

I'll go with you.

Let me take you in my car.

Okay, but I have to take a detour.

It's on the way to the site, anyway.

Today is a special day for me.

A special day?

That's right. I've just remembered!

Today is the memorial of Police Commissioner Masayoshi Sato,

Sato's father's.

Huh?

It was exactly 18 years ago today.

When he was chasing a thief, at this intersection...

He was run over by a truck.

If I remember correctly, the name of the case was...

Shushiro.

What?

It was called that because

the officer who was run over by the truck

repeated that over and over to the person fleeing from the scene.

(Shushiro Case) It was then nicknamed "The Shushiro Case",

(Shushiro Case) and formed an unprecedented

all-out investigation network.

However, the case expired three years ago.

That's what Uncle Kogoro told me.

In my father's police memo book,

there are three mysterious katakana letters:

"Ka-n-o".

If anyone ever manages to find out what "Shushiro" means,

I would grant anything they wish for.

Huh?

Grant anything...

They wish for?

On this day, Sato met her father's school friends.

What?

A person who looks like the arsonist having been seen?

Oh, no!

Takagi!

The handcuff...

I left my handcuff on the desk at the station...

If you don't have yours, take this.

Okay.

These handcuffs are surely rusty.

That's my father's keepsake.

(Shinagawa Station) However, the situation took an unexpected turn...

I get it! So that's what it was!

Huh?

You've figured out the criminal 18 years ago?

To keep his mouth shut, someone attacked Detective Takagi.

It's Shinagawa.

The next place the arsonist is going to show up.

That's not where Detective Sato is going.

I think it isn't over yet.

After midnight this evening,

the "Shushiro" case that occurred 18 years ago will expire.

Right, Mr. "Kan-o"?

When we thought the case is finally solved…

Now, tell me where Takagi is.

Where is he?

Inside a worn-out warehouse in Shinagawa 6-chome.

Wait, that's...

I've got to do something about this handcuff.

All right! My gun is still here!

Okay, I'll shoot the chain off.

Move!

No, Sato!

Move, I said!

Darn it!!

I'm appointed here starting today.

My name is Wataru Takagi!

Uh, Detective Sato...

Sato?

Sato!

You idiot, idiot!

You idiot Takagi!

Oh, right.

I'm sorry.

Takagi!

Just what are you doing there?

Well, I'm...

Wait...

What? Come on, you've got your gun!

Why didn't you use your gun to blow the chain off the handcuff?

He didn't want to break it.

That's your father's keepsake, isn't it, Detective Sato?

That's why he didn't use his gun.

He's trying to act cool.

He's the type that'll die young.

You fool.

I remember.

The presence of Takagi was getting greater in my heart.

It was then, there's no doubt about it.

What? Detective Sato is going to go on a blind date?

Right!

Who will the man be, exactly?

Miwako doesn't know either.

(Japanese Restaurant - Minatorou) Hey, hey!

It's already been ten minutes since the meeting time!

I'm sure that he's a good-for-nothing, since he has the nerve to keep a lady waiting!

Hi, I'm so sorry.

Shiratori?

What? Why?

Don't worry!

There's going to be someone who'll take her away from there!

But who's going to do that?

You silly thing. Who else but Takagi?

I'm sure that he'll burst in with a face you've never seen before.

You demon.

Hey, why don't we go there as well?

Lucky!

Yes, Takagi here.

Oh, Takagi?

Did you read the message I sent you?

Your message?

Thief!

Someone, please catch him!

Let's go after him, Chiba!

Yes!

The convenience store thief was chased by

(Hiroshi Zama (21) Part-time Worker) both Detective Takagi

(Hiroshi Zama (21) Part-time Worker) both Detective Takagi (Eiko Koshimizu (28) Office Worker) and Detective Chiba.

(Eiko Koshimizu (28) Office Worker) and Detective Chiba.

(Yasuo Kamieda (32) Cram School Teacher) However, the suspect...

There are three people?

Hey, hey, Yumi.

So, someone is supposed to come rescue

the beautiful princess from the hands of the evil prince?

If Takagi comes to get you,

I shall gracefully back down.

But if he chickens out and doesn't show up,

I will take you as my wife.

All right, then.

Huh?

It's a deal!

That's right, it's Takagi.

Yes, I'm sure that he'll be here...

I'm sure?

Why?

Detective Takagi, troubled by three different testimonies...

Hello, this is Shinichi Kudo.

Huh?

I told him the situation and decided to help.

Sato is going on a blind date?!

I also said he should settle the case before sunset and go fetch Detective Sato.

Darn!

Forty minutes left before sundown.

I see! That's what it was!

I've figured out who the thief is!

But if Takagi fails to make it here in time,

I'd like some proof that I've won the bet.

What?

As proof, I'd like you to give me a kiss.

Come on. What's keeping you, Takagi?

Hurry up and arrest the thief, will you?

The phone...

Sato, Takagi here!

I just arrested the convenience store thief.

Then hurry up and come get me then, will you?

Good grief...

Why me?

Huh?

Because I'm sure that you would come get me!

Does it bug you?

Oh, well...

You see, that's...

Maybe...

You...

Well, you...

I thought that you like...

The thief got away!

Hey, you!

What are you doing, Takagi!

Oh, but...

Takagi.

To you...

Which means more to you? The thief, or me?

Huh?

After him, Takagi!

Yes!

And then, the thief is apprehended safely.

I goofed and let go...

of who I really wanted to catch the most.

I never realized

that he's come to mean so much to me.

I'll take the thief to the station, so you go on ahead!

You're a detective, aren't you?

If so, then do as a detective would,

and pursue the target until the end, Takagi!

To only realize something like this now,

I have failed as a detective.

I guess this is just what I needed to forget the whole deal.

Goodbye, Takagi.

Assistant Inspector Miwako Sato!

I'm sorry to bother you when you're off-duty,

but we've got a case.

I hope you'll come to back us up?

Takagi?

Takagi!

Conan?

Takagi!

I couldn't make it in time.

Police Sergeant Takagi!

What the hell are you doing?

Hurry up, get in!

Sato.

There's a case, right?

Ah, yes!

I couldn't help but get involved.

I mean, those two are so awkward at this,

I feel like seeing two other familiar people.

I feel really bad for doing this to Inspector Shiratori, though.

(Tropical Marine Land)

Right. That day was definitely big for me.

That day, I had something to give Sato.

Huh?

What... what's this sharp gaze that I'm sensing?

We were unaware of being so closely monitored.

And moreover...

It's Detective Takagi and Detective Sato!

What brings you here?

And also...

This isn't

all that great, but...

What is it?

What?

What is this?

What's in this paper bag?

That's not mine.

Hey, this is...

a narcotic!

What is it? What is it?

What's up?

Detective Takagi's bag was swapped,

and it escalated into an outrageous case.

The owner of the bag

is probably just a courier and is unaware they're carrying narcotics.

The transaction will definitely take place after this.

With that in mind, we searched around for the courier.

And finally found him.

Let him be until he's making the deal.

Okay, it is time.

Put the stuff on my lap.

Huh?

Police.

Sato?

He's probably planning to escape by hijacking the boat with his gun.

I won't let it happen!

Take this!

The ring!

Darn it!

My ring…

Sato!

Sato, we've caught the suspect!

Sato?

What's the matter?

Are you crying?

It's probably because of that.

It can't be...

It seems that she's reminded

of Detective Matsuda dying on duty on the Ferris wheel.

I... I'm sorry.

I didn't realize.

Hey…

Will you promise me?

That you will always be with me,

and will never disappear before me.

Give me your word!

Although Detective Takagi lost his important bag,

he got a hold of something more important.

Right. And then...

What made his presence greater to me was...

That incident.

It started with a case involving Superintendent Matsumoto,

a serial murder case that soon be closed.

Has the serial killer from the past been resurrected?

We also thought so. However...

I know these people.

They're regulars here.

From this investigation, we found out that there's someone else

who often argue with them.

His address is unknown and he's unemployed.

His name is Dokuro Kibo.

Kibo?

Dokuro Kibo?

Search for him right away,

and bring him to me!

Yes, sir!

I'll take the children home in my car,

Detective Takagi, I'll leave Mr. Eki to you.

Yes, will do.

Mr. Eki, the third victim,

has a son who just turned ten years old,

who heard the suspect's voice.

We need to confirm it.

However, from hearing Ayumi's casual remark,

I realized I was misunderstanding something.

He's holding the tail of the mouse,

so that person is a cat.

Huh?

I see.

This case ended 15 years ago!

Copycat.

In other words, he's imitating the serial killer.

(Nabei) Strange. The lights are on and all…

But I never expected Takagi to be wrapped up in the situation like that...

I'm from the police, I just visited you a while ago.

Mr. Nabei!

That's my cell phone.

Wait.

Is it your girlfriend, Mr. Detective?

(Caller: Miwako Sato) Good timing, tell her to come here.

I'll get her as hostage.

Hurry up and answer the phone.

Don't say anything strange. If you do, I'll firing this gun.

I guess my cell phone broke.

I guess I'm the only hostage left.

Why you...

How dare you!

Takagi.

Darn. You asked for it.

They've figured it out.

It can't be, Sato?

No. Don't come in now.

Sato...

No way!

Takagi was shot?

(Toto Police Hospital)

Why?

It can't be...

Oh, no, I mean...

It happens, you know?

The cliche where the evidence is coincidentally placed inside his pocket

and saves his life from the culprit's bullet.

So, how is Takagi?

He's gone through treatment and is sleeping in his room now.

He's fast asleep.

Winter, one day.

Detective Takagi and Detective Sato's most terrifying incident happened.

Hey, you, the detective over there!

Oh, Yumi.

Are you staking out?

No, I finished work early today.

I need to go somewhere.

Well, I'll be back after a one night's stay.

Oh, what's this about?

Are you going on a hot spring date with Miwako, or what?

No.

It's not a date.

No way. Miwako, even you don't know

where Takagi is going?

Indeed.

Although he told Inspector Megure

that he had to relay something to somebody.

Something smells fishy.

Right? Don't you think so?

Well, I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with love,

He clearly said that he wasn't going on a date, after all.

Sheesh.

I wonder if he really remembers,

Date's memorial day?

Come to think of it, it's been almost a year.

He told me that he'd go pay a visit to his grave with me, and yet...

Who are you talking about?

The police detective who used to be Takagi's mentor.

He was such a tough guy that you couldn't kill even if you wanted to.

Yet, he was involved in a traffic accident and passed away just like that.

Then maybe he had something he wanted to report

to the parents of the detective?

No, Date's parents also live in Tokyo.

If so, maybe it has to do with a woman, after all.

Come to think of it, Takagi

is quite popular in the Transportation Department.

Well, he's not as popular as Miwako, though.

That bugger Takagi...

Darn it, maybe I caught a cold.

(Greeting parents)

Sato, I...

I'm losing confidence that I can make you happy.

We, the members of the Junior Detectives, finally did it, didn't we?

(Metropolitan Police Department) What an honor to be selected as models

(Metropolitan Police Department) for the child crime prevention pamphlet!

Yeah! We did solve a lot of crimes, after all!

What should we do? We're going to be famous!

Detective Takagi is late!

He told us to call him

once we get to the MPD, so he could take us over to the PR section in charge.

But I can't get through to him at all.

Do you know Detective Wataru Takagi, children?

Yes, we do. But why?

I couldn't have asked for better.

He asked me to hand this over to his detective girlfriend.

Could you do it for me?

Are you referring to Detective Sato?

This one?

Do you mean you also know that female detective?

Yes.

She's strong and scary like an ogre, though.

Genta...

But she's very pretty, too!

That's right!

I'm sure they're getting married soon!

Right!

They're really in love, you see!

Then, please relay this message from him to the happy female detective.

Huh?

He said that it's perishable, so open it as soon as you can.

He also said that it will be no good

by tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Hey!

Ah, Conan!

Okay, I'm counting on you guys.

Who is that guy?

He seems to be Detective Takagi's acquaintance.

What?

Takagi was in tears while looking at a mini photo on his memo pad?

Yes, ma'am.

It looked like a cute photo at first glance,

so I asked him if that photo was of you, Sato.

Cut the joke!

And he got really angry at me.

"Cut the joke"?

He told me not to say anything because

he wanted to explain it himself.

Hey! Where's Takagi?

I'm wondering as well. I haven't seen him yet today.

Yes, hello.

Conan?

Takagi has something for me?

Did the unknown man say that to you?

Yeah!

Here it is.

What is going on here?

He hasn't even shown up at work yet.

Detective Takagi isn't here yet?

The man told us that it's perishable,

so eat it by tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

But this tablet doesn't look edible.

It's a tablet.

It could be a video letter, then.

I'm sure he's just too embarrassed to tell you in person.

Detective Takagi is shy, you see.

Seriously. If you have something to tell me,

why can't you say it directly to me?

Takagi!

There's a rope tied around his neck!

So that he can't get away, huh!

But if he's just tied up and lying down...

It switched.

Yes.

It's taken from a different camera angle.

Wait... Wait a second!

If he turns over and falls...

He'll get strangled and die!

Wake up, Takagi!

Get up and see the situation you're in!

Takagi.

Calm down. Calm down.

Think.

Try to recall how things turned out this way.

If I remember correctly, I met that person last night,

and he told me he wanted to show me some scenery,

so he brought me here.

Then, I was drugged from behind.

But why?

Don't tell me that he wanted to...

Which means that the video on this camera is being sent to the MPD.

What?

Takagi was kidnapped by someone?

Yes, sir! This is that video.

Takagi!

The camera switched over?

There are probably three cameras.

The shots are taken from the front, the side, and below.

They seem to be streamed randomly.

Can you tell where the video is being sent from?

If we leave this to the Cyber Crime Department, yes.

I don't think anything can be done right away.

Conan!

The only thing that we can do with that tablet

is to switch the screen on and off by pressing the button on the front of it.

It's made so that everything else, including the touch panel,

power switch, and the charging connector can't be used.

But, Conan.

If we disassemble this tablet,

it can be charged directly from the inside.

The data can also be transferred from the hard disk.

Wouldn't we at least be able to figure out where the information is being sent from?

What if we aren't able to view Detective Takagi's footage after we disassembled it?

What?

The culprit has remodeled the button,

and embedded a program to invalidate the functions of the touch panel and all, right?

So, it'd be safer to think that this device is rigged,

such that the video would be cut off,

and will never boot again if disassembled.

Well, we could contact a service provider,

and trace the tablet without having to go through something so risky.

But culprits who do something like this

would most likely be using a server abroad,

so I think it would be difficult to trace the origin of the transmission quickly.

That's what Shinichi told me when I discussed this on the phone with him just now.

But if it's possible to trace it,

even if we have to spend some time...

But the time limit is tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, right?

Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?

The man who gave the tablet to my friends said so.

He told them that it's perishable, so it should be opened quickly.

Otherwise, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, it'll be no good.

What... What on earth does that mean?

It probably means that if he's left as is, tied up and all...

Without water or food, he won't make it past the third day.

In other words, we only have time until the day after tomorrow.

But...

Why is this happening to Takagi?

He's not the type that would be hated by people.

Being hated is an inevitable trait of any police detective.

You'd never know when and where someone would hold a grudge against you.

Superintendent Matsumoto!

Megure, is it true that Takagi said

that he'd be staying overnight somewhere to meet someone?

Yes, sir.

He was looking at the monorail's timetable,

so he probably went to Haneda Airport.

Then, contact Haneda Airport and find out if there was anyone

by the name of Wataru Takagi among last night's passengers.

Yes, sir!

Shiratori, go to Takagi's residence,

check his mailbox and the e-mails on his computer,

and figure out who he was planning to see.

Yes, sir.

Chiba, keep watching over the tablet.

Yes, sir!

Don't keep it on for too long.

If we can't charge it,

it means we can only watch the video for less than 10 hours.

Turn it on for only 10 minutes per hour,

then record the video while you're checking it.

We have to find something to identify his location.

Yes... Yes, sir! I'll get to it right away!

Superintendent.

What about me?

Sato, question the children waiting in the other room.

Yes, sir!

After all, they're vital witnesses who were in contact with the suspect.

Ask them what the suspect looked like,

his habits, and also his language.

Don't leave out anything!

Yes, sir.

Everyone else,

go and find all the people Takagi came across during his investigations.

Suspects and victims, find everybody. Understood?

Yes, sir!

Detective Sato, let's go.

I'll rescue you no matter what!

Hang on, Takagi!

I see. So, that's the story.

That's why that person brought me to a place like this.

If that's the case, even if it's scary,

I've got no choice but to do it.

Wait...

Then, let me confirm once again.

A man who looked like this

handed that tablet to you?

Yeah.

First, he asked us if we knew Detective Wataru Takagi.

We replied that we do.

Then, he told us to give the package to Detective Takagi's girlfriend.

Then, was there anything about his habits or word usage that bothered you?

There wasn't anything unusual, right?

Yeah.

Bad news, Sato!

Takagi...

Sato!

Takagi! Takagi!

What's this situation all about?

Why does it look as if he's about to fall?

I was trying to record the third video we received,

and then I saw this.

But why?

He's been like this for a long time already.

It's understandable that he'd surrender to despair.

Get a hold of yourself! Takagi...

His police memo book.

If somebody picks that up and reports it,

we'll be able to figure out where Detective Takagi is.

It's okay.

It seems like Detective Takagi's in control.

You... You're right.

Hey! What on earth's going on?

Wataru Takagi's name wasn't on any flight

that departed from Haneda last night.

No clues were found in Takagi's residence either,

and there are no cases that seem related to what's happening now.

Well...

What is it?

Come to think of it,

I happened to see Takagi coming out from the reference room last week.

What?

The thing is, he was in tears.

So I wondered what document he was looking through.

Okay.

Bring every document he looked at to me!

Yes, sir!

The documents that Detective Takagi was looking through that day

were cases of women who hung themselves about a year ago?

Yes.

There are three cases in total.

They were all concluded to be non-criminal cases,

and were handed over to the police station in each district.

What were the three cases like?

If I remember correctly, one of them was Ms. Yuko Tokugi,

a sixth-year medical student at Touto University.

She committed suicide in the living room of her condo.

It didn't look much like a woman's room,

but it was neat and tidy.

Based on the will found near her feet,

she ran over somebody a few days before,

and she couldn't bear the guilt any longer.

The second one was a teacher at an English conversational school

whose mother was American. Her name was Ms. Natalie Kuruma.

Based on what was written on the calendar in her room,

she was going on dates with her boyfriend every day.

But after being dumped by him, she seemed to have fallen to despair.

Seems that she planned a date with him the day she committed suicide.

How could you tell that?

From her cell phone.

The dispatched police squad that got there before us

told us that it was written in the message that she sent to her mother in English.

The third woman was Ms. Kyoka Hikoue, the number-one hostess at a bar in Roppongi.

It seems she was making a lot of money and yet,

she lived in an old apartment.

Her room was filled with empty beer cans.

According to her diary, she found out that her boyfriend was a marriage swindler.

So, she hung herself to death in despair.

Was that swindler arrested?

Yes, not under the charge of swindling, but murder.

It seems that he was swarmed with debt and got in trouble

with black market loan sharks,

and ended up stabbing someone.

If I remember correctly, it was Date who arrested him.

Date?

Right.

You've never met him, haven't you, Conan?

Date died in a traffic accident

immediately after he arrested that swindler.

Date was trying to pick up a memo book

when a driver who fell asleep at the wheels ran over him.

That's what Takagi said.

Detective Takagi said so?

Yes.

Takagi was at the scene, too.

They were staking out all night,

and were on their way home in the morning.

I heard he was run over when he tried to show Takagi something in the memo book.

You know, the black memo book that Takagi always uses.

It's Date's keepsake that was handed over to him.

He worked hard to fill every page up.

He used to say that he wanted to become a police detective like Date.

Detective Takagi and the other detective got along well, didn't they?

Yes.

Date was Takagi's mentor.

Date used to call the two of them "The Wataru Brothers".

Why were they called "brothers"?

Because Date's full name was Wataru Date.

Well, they both had the first name "Wataru",

but unlike Takagi who wasn't very into women,

Date loved to pursue them.

Although he was only a year older than me,

Date looked much older.

Don't tell me…

Don't tell me the reason Detective Takagi was kidnapped was...

Hey, how is he?

Is Takagi okay?

Yes, sir.

He's been lying on his stomach for three hours.

He looks very exhausted and weak.

Hasn't anyone reported the police memo book that he dropped?

No. Not as of yet.

Did you manage to contact the bereaved family of the three people who committed suicide

that Takagi was looking through in the reference room last week?

Shikoku, Hokkaido, and Kyushu.

All those places are far enough that one would need to stay overnight.

If I remember correctly, all three suicides occurred on the same day, right?

Yeah.

It'll be a year the day after tomorrow.

What's wrong?

The... The video suddenly started shaking.

What?

Is this... an earthquake?!

Contact the meteorological agency and confirm where the epicenter is.

If this is a live video, we can narrow down the location!

Yes, sir!

It's... It's shaking quite a bit.

Don’t fall, Takagi!

Shiratori! Have you found nothing yet?

Well...

From yesterday up until now,

no earthquake has been detected in all 47 prefectures throughout Japan.

What?

Don't tell me...

Could he be abroad?

The shaking seems to have stopped.

It's... a crow.

What on earth does this mean?

It's likely that the stick, or whatever the camera is fixed to,

was shaken because the crow perched on it.

I see.

Anyway, it is highly probable that someone related to the suicide cases

did this because he bears some sort of grudge against Takagi!

Work with the district police station which has detailed information on the cases,

and find the suspect!

Yes, sir!

I'm sorry to have kept you all until so late today.

I'm sure you're all tired from the interrogation.

No.

By the way, aren't you worried?

Detective Takagi will get sleepy when the night comes, right?

That's right.

If he rolls over while he sleeps...

He'll be fine.

He doesn't move much when he sleeps.

Have you slept with him before?

You really get along well, don't you?

You see. We take short naps together when we're staking out.

Maybe the culprit has a grudge against Detective Takagi,

because one of those suicide cases.

Maybe the case was actually a homicide,

but Detective Takagi concluded it as suicide...

I don't think so.

If that's the case, the culprit would have a grudge against

all the other police detectives who rushed to scene, as well as the forensic officers.

And it doesn't seem like anybody has requested for any of the cases to be reinvestigated.

I guess you're right.

All three suicides occurred the day after Date got into the accident.

Since Takagi was still dazed because of the incident,

the one who concluded that it was suicide was me, the assistant inspector.

Hey.

I think it'd be better to ask around for more details about Detective Date.

Why?

Something is bothering me.

Especially the fact that Detective Date

has the same first name as Detective Takagi, "Wataru".

It's nighttime already.

It's so cold. I'm freezing.

I wonder if I'm going to die here.

Well, I'm to be blamed for all this.

So, I guess God's judgment was passed on me.

Takagi...

This...

I'm leaving this to you...

Date!

I... I'm counting on you.

No. Get a hold of yourself.

I've got to get out of here somehow,

and relay the message to that person!

For Date's sake, I have to reveal the truth.

Bad news, Superintendent!

I contacted the service provider,

and found out that it is being transmitted via a server abroad, after all.

We're asking the local investigators to help us on this matter.

Does it mean it's going to take some time?

And even if we know,

if the transmission is sent via several countries...

More time will be needed for an investigation.

And by the time we find out, Takagi may have frozen to death.

How is Takagi doing?

He seems very weak.

He has been trying to get up and was moving his body all night.

I understand how cold he must be,

but he'll tire himself out that way!

By the way, you mentioned on the phone that you noticed something.

The man who handed us the tablet was talking a bit weirdly.

"It will be no good by tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

It sure sounds strange.

"Tomorrow, or at the latest, the day after tomorrow."

That's how it's normally said.

Maybe he's a foreigner who speaks Japanese well.

But he looked Japanese, didn't he?

Yeah.

Hey…

Was there anyone related to Hokkaido

among the three women who committed suicide?

Yes.

The English teacher, Ms. Natalie Kuruma, was from Hokkaido.

Then, maybe someone close to her is the one who kidnapped Detective Takagi.

What?

Why do you think so?

"The day after tomorrow"

in Hokkaido dialect is said as "tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

But why?

The teacher was probably Detective Date's girlfriend.

Girlfriend? Date's?

The word written on the calendar

was not the English word "date."

The word "date" is spelt D-A-T-E.

But when it's read as a romaji, it's pronounced as "da-te".

It probably marked the days Detective Date was coming to spend the night.

So, just like Detective Takagi said, they weren't going on dates.

I see.

Since she was an English teacher,

I assumed that the "date" written there

meant the English word "date."

You mentioned that she had a date scheduled on the day she committed suicide, right?

Yes.

If she had planned to go out somewhere with Detective Date that day...

she probably kept waiting without knowing Detective Date got into a traffic accident.

And she might have ended her own life out of despair, thinking that he dumped her.

No way.

A year later, Detective Takagi probably finally realized what happened

and wanted to tell her family about it.

Come to think of it, Takagi seems to have been in tears

while looking at the photo in the memo book.

It's likely that, after he went through the papers last week,

he confirmed that it was Ms. Natalie in the photo.

But wait!

This is about Detective Date, isn't it?

It has nothing to do with Takagi, right?

What if, instead of "Date", she told her family that her boyfriend's name was "Wataru",

as to not get in confused with the English word "date"?

If Detective Takagi contacted her family saying that he wants to tell them something

and that he would like to meet them, what would happen?

They could've mistakenly thought that the Detective Wataru from the MPD

had the nerve to appear to meet them a year later.

That's why they did that to Detective Takagi.

But Ms. Natalie's parents

got into a traffic accident on their way to pick up her body.

Then, who picked up her body?

If I remember correctly, it was a middle-aged man who was also an English teacher.

He took her belongings with him, too.

That reminds me, we just got a report from the district police station,

saying that when that teacher came to get the body, he broke down in tears.

They came from the same hometown

and he treated her like his daughter.

Then there's no doubt about it.

He is the one who kidnapped Detective Takagi.

He probably found the message among Natalie's belongings,

and misunderstood that Detective Takagi had dumped her,

and made her commit suicide!

We've pinned down the suspect.

His name is Ryusaku Fuemoto.

He quit his job as an English teacher due to an illness,

and seemed to have left for his hometown in Hokkaido last month.

His residence in Hokkaido is unknown,

but considering that he hasn't moved from the flat he used to live in,

it is highly likely that he's hiding there.

Head there immediately,

and take him into custody as soon as you find him.

Make him spit out Takagi's location!

Yes, sir!

(Fuemoto)

Please come in.

The door's open.

Finally.

You've finally found me.

While waiting, I was about to doze off and accidentally push the switch of the bomb.

How about it? Is he the man?

Yeah!

There's no mistake!

He's the man!

Okay, now talk.

Tell us where Takagi is.

Are you the one?

Detective Wataru Takagi's senior and girlfriend.

I see.

Just like he said, you're quite a beauty.

But it doesn't mean he was right for dumping Natalie...

Now, listen well before I knock you over!

The man you kidnapped is Wataru Takagi,

and Natalie's boyfriend was Wataru Date!

Besides, she wasn't dumped!

But in a message that she sent out, she said

that Wataru wouldn't come anymore!

Of course, he wouldn't!

It was because he was run over by a car

and passed away that day!

That... That can't be!

So, hurry up and tell us where Takagi is.

Don't tell me...

There was poison in the wine?

Call an ambulance! Hurry!

Yes, ma'am!

Hang on!

He is...

Where? Where is he?

Hurry up and tell me!

He...

Where is he?

Hey, Sato! What's going on?

Report the situation! Did you take custody of the suspect?

What's the matter? Say something, Sato!

Sato?

Superintendent,

I'm sorry to say but…

The death of suspect, Ryusaku Fuemoto, was confirmed just now.

It seems that the wine Fuemoto was drinking when we raided the place had poison in it.

The suspect has died?

Did someone poison him?

No, a bottle of poison was found near the wine bottle.

It seems that he'd decided to kill himself when the police arrived.

Judging from the fact that he had a bomb on him,

he probably planned to blow himself up if he was taken by force.

But if he were to be given a chance to talk,

he would drink the poison and see us grieve.

The suspect seemed to have held a grudge against the police.

Did you tell him that he had it all wrong?

Yes, sir.

But by the time I explained it to him,

he had already drunk the poison,

and I wasn't able to find out where Takagi is being confined.

Have you found any clue from the suspect's room?

No.

We're investigating right now, but nothing yet.

The only thing we've found was Takagi's phone which must've been taken by him.

There are several messages from the suspect in his mailbox,

and among them, there's one saying

that the suspect had planned to come and see Takagi in person.

However, he fell ill, so he felt very apologetic.

But he wanted Takagi to go to his place

with the airline ticket that he had bought for himself.

I also found a message addressed to me,

which I think was written by the suspect.

It says, "I left your gift from Detective Takagi in the bushes in front of the MPD".

So I think he intended to hand me the tablet that way.

Are there any other messages that could serve as a clue on where Takagi may be?

No. All it says is they'd meet up when Takagi gets to the airport.

Then, continue investigating the residence.

Roger!

It's most likely that nothing will be found.

Yeah.

If he'd planned to commit suicide in front of the police to begin with,

I don't think he would leave anything behind

that would give away Takagi's location.

If anything, it would most likely be the suspect's hometown, Hokkaido, but...

I also asked the local construction sites to check the buildings, just to be safe.

But as of now, we haven't received any report of Takagi being seen

in a four-story building like the one in the video.

The only clue we have left is this video of Takagi.

If it either rains or snows,

perhaps we could narrow down the location.

The only thing that showed up in the video was a crow.

A crow showed up in the video?

Yeah.

If you have the recording, could you show it to us, too?

I think that

children would know more about animals.

Yeah!

It's just a plain crow, isn't it?

That's right.

But look, its neck is gray, see?

This is a western jackdaw!

But if I remember correctly, this type of crow...

I'm back!

So? Did you find out anything?

No.

It seems all the data in his computer has already been deleted.

I'm having them search where the bomb was attained,

but nothing has been found yet.

I see.

So, how is Takagi doing?

Don't worry. He's still alive.

Although he looks quite weak.

Nice!

What... What's going on?

Takagi's been moving since yesterday.

I thought he was moving about because he was cold.

But actually, he was trying to cut the rope at his feet

using the corner edge of the board.

He finally succeeded!

I see.

If he hangs his legs out towards both sides,

it'll keep him from falling off easily.

He did it...

But what's this? What's he doing with his leg?

He seems to be pulling the sheet covering the board towards him.

If he covers himself with it,

he could stop his body temperature from dropping too low.

No! He dropped it.

Why?

Maybe he wants someone to notice the sound of the sheet falling?

Takagi, what are you trying to do?

Somebody...

Please notice it.

That's...

Wait a second! What is that?

A bomb?

What?

There seems to be a timer!

A time bomb?

Hey, Shiratori.

Do you know the time Ms. Natalie committed suicide?

If I remember correctly, the estimated time of death was around 10 am.

Tomorrow will be the same day she died a year ago.

If the timer is set to explode at that time...

So no matter what we do,

Takagi will be blown up in less than 18 hours from now?

Oh, no...

Hey, wait!

The masking tape on the bomb is about to peel off,

and it looks like it's about to fall off any minute now!

Darn it.

Takagi!

Don't worry.

Takagi has realized it,

and he's trying to drop it with his feet.

Go for it, Takagi!

Just a bit more!

Drop it!

He put it on the board.

What are you doing, Takagi?

Somebody's there.

Huh?

Detective Takagi heard somebody's voice from below,

so he didn't drop it.

The audio from the tablet has been disabled, hasn't it?

Despite that, Detective Takagi's mouth is sealed with a masking tape.

This means that he's in a place

where his voice could be heard by passersby.

So, Takagi did that to protect the people there.

Takagi...

I wonder who the winner will be tomorrow?

Of course, it's my dad!

Because he's the strongest!

The strongest...

Date, you are definitely strong,

being able to take a huge suspect into custody like that.

I heard that you were the top in the police school too.

Oh, come on. That rumor is rubbish.

I always placed second.

I could never outdo him, be it physically or mentally.

Him?

He was a kind and lanky guy like you.

I wonder where he is and what he's doing now.

Maybe he's dropped dead somewhere

because he was overconfident about himself.

You'd better be careful, too.

Although we're police, we've only got one life.

Don't risk your life on something unworthy.

Date.

We should narrow down the place where Takagi is to Hokkaido?

Why is that, Conan?

Because the crow in the video with him

is probably a western jackdaw.

Western jackdaws are usually found in Europe,

but they were found twice in Japan in the past.

And both times, it was in Hokkaido!

But that's not enough to conclude that he is in Hokkaido.

Hey!

What?

What is that light?

I wonder, too.

What is it?

Over here.

There is a thin pillar of light

in the sky behind Takagi.

The sun pillar phenomenon.

At dawn and sundown,

if sunlight is reflected in the diamond dust in the air,

it will look like a shining pillar.

I read on the internet that it's only seen in cold places like Hokkaido.

Hey, do you mean he's in such a cold place?

We've got to rescue him quickly, then!

He'll freeze to death!

Hey. Do you know the temperature that causes the diamond dust to form?

If I remember correctly,

it's 20 degrees below the freezing point.

Minus 20 degrees Celsius?

It looks to be a quite a distance away,

so there's no guarantee that Takagi is right where it happened.

It's certain that he's somewhere nearby though.

Superintendent...

It's Hokkaido!

Hokkaido is where Takagi is being confined!

Ask for help from the Hokkaido police,

and contact all construction companies and demolishers!

Ask them to reinvestigate!

Yes, sir!

Let's go.

Megure! You shall fly to Hokkaido with Sato!

Judging from the word "friend" that was written in the message,

an accomplice of the suspect may be at the site.

Don't forget to bring your gun and phone!

Yes, sir!

Hold on, Takagi.

Just hang on a little while more.

Go ahead.

But something's strange.

They said they were checking all buildings

that have over four stories in Hokkaido,

so why haven't they found him yet?

If the culprit had a lot of friends,

and they set the place up on their own,

then it would be a different story.

If they asked a construction company to do it,

a building with four or more stories

shouldn't be that difficult to find.

Besides, it also bothers me that Detective Takagi dropped the sheet.

Yes, someone who passed by the site could've heard the sound of the sheet falling,

but if the memo book he dropped before gets covered by it, everything would go to waste.

Maybe...

He had another reason for doing so.

Hey, Mitsuhiko!

You recorded Detective Takagi's footage

with your phone, didn't you?

Yes, I did.

Show it to me!

Don't tell me that Detective Takagi is confined at...

Don't tell me that...

Hey, Megure. Have you found Takagi yet?

No, sir.

The prefectural headquarter choppers are helping us search for him, too.

But we've got to narrow down the location a bit more,

or it's going to be difficult...

Have you received any report on your side?

No.

We had them reinvestigate after dawn,

but no four-story building where Takagi could be

has been found.

Is... Is Takagi all right?

Yeah.

It looks as if he's about to die any minute, though.

Maybe we should consider places other than Hokkaido at this point.

What is it? What happened?

Snow... It just started to snow!

Superintendent! How is it over there?

Is there any snow on Takagi's video?

There's snow here, too!

Confirm with the meteorological agency! Hurry!

Yes, sir!

Superintendent!

We've only got less than an hour

until the expected time of explosion!

I know that!

Superintendent! It's only snowing in Hokkaido!

They said it started to snow in most areas in Hokkaido.

So, Takagi's being confined somewhere in Hokkaido, after all.

But how?

We've already checked all buildings four stories or taller

in the entire prefecture, and yet...

Why can't we find him?

That's because it's less than four stories tall.

What?

The culprit used a trick

to make the site of confinement appear to be more than four stories tall.

I came here because Conan said that he realized something

after looking at Detective Takagi's video yesterday.

I stayed up all night analyzing it,

and finally found the evidence.

But we also watched that video

until there was nothing else to check, and couldn't find anything.

Was the shaky part checked as well?

The shaky part?

The one where the crow perched on the stick

or whatever the camera was attached to.

This part.

Since the camera swayed and moved a bit out of place,

we fast forwarded it and checked.

See. Take a good look at this.

Near Detective Takagi's left shoulder.

Something's here, right?

Something that looks like a hook.

That... That's true.

But what on earth is it?

A hook on the tip of the string of the police memo book.

So, this is the police memo book that Takagi dropped.

But isn't it in a weird position?

Yeah. It looks as if it's floating in the air or something.

It's not afloat.

It's sitting on something.

It's on a mirror.

A mirror?

That's why Detective Takagi dropped the police memo book.

He wanted us to see through this mirror trick.

Unfortunately, it got hidden under the board.

He dropped the sheet covering the board

for the same reason.

In other words,

the bottom part of the front view of the video was a mirrored image.

Which means the place is only two stories tall.

Yeah.

The fact that Detective Takagi is still alive proves that, too.

The fact that he's alive is the proof?

Don't you get it?

The sun pillar phenomenon only occurs

at a temperature of 20 degrees below freezing point.

If a person wearing only a suit is left in a place

where such a phenomenon can be seen,

it won't take him a day to freeze to death.

Then, why is Takagi still...

An electrically heated wire is placed behind the mirror.

It's to melt the snow so that it doesn't accumulate.

Right, Professor?

Yeah.

If the snow accumulates,

it'll give away the fact that there's a mirror.

Well, thanks to the heat, the temperature rose slightly,

and it was a blessing for Detective Takagi.

Okay!

Change the investigation area to two-story buildings!

If it's two stories,

it might be a house, too!

Notify the prefectural police HQ

to check on renovators, too!

Yes, sir!

Megure, the site is probably a house with its roof blown off!

It'll be easier to find from the sky!

There's probably only 40 minutes left until the explosion.

Find Takagi before that, at all cost!

Copy, sir!

Where... Where are you, Takagi?

Superintendent!

Takagi is sticking the edge of the masking tape on his mouth

onto the steel pole beside him.

Did he peel it off?

He can call for help now!

Hey, what's the matter, Takagi?

Why isn't he calling out?

He probably can't call out.

He's so weak that he has lost his voice.

He hasn't had anything to drink for more than two days,

so his throat is probably parched.

Oh, no.

Takagi.

Wait a second!

The things flying behind Detective Takagi... Aren't those kites?

But it's not only one or two!

It... It's a kite-flying contest!

Shiratori, can you identify the place?

Yes, sir.

Kite-flying contests are being held at three places today in Hokkaido.

Ikeguchi Town, Komamae Town, and Hibai City.

Inform the Hokkaido Police HQ immediately!

Yes, sir!

But isn't there any way we can narrow it down to one place?

There's only less than five minutes until the bomb explodes!

Superintendent!

He's... His mouth...

Takagi is moving his mouth

and trying to say something.

What?

But the video isn't straight on.

And with snow blocking the view,

it's hard to read his lips.

It's Komamae.

The only consonants you can't pronounce unless you close your lips

are "m", "b", and "p"!

If he was trying to tell us where he is,

between the three towns,

the only place he would need to close his lips twice is "Komamae"!

Megure! Go to Komamae Town!

Go to Komamae Town! Takagi's there!

We're flying right over Komamae Town now!

There he is!

To the right of the chopper! Right below!

Takagi...

We've found Takagi!

He's in the vicinity of Komamae third street!

There doesn't seem to be any accomplice!

Hurry! There's only less than two minutes left!

Not good!

If we go any closer,

Takagi's body will fall from the impact of the wind!

Inspector! Please use the loudspeaker

and ask the passersby and people in the town to evacuate!

Hey, Sato?

Sato! Just what are you...

Sato!

Sato...

I felt like I just saw Sato come flying down from the sky just now

with her panty and everything showing.

I think I'm done for.

Takagi!

Move your head to the left, then stay still!

Sato!

Takagi!

Are you alive, Wataru?

Oh, yes... Somehow...

I'm so glad!

We'd better get out of here quickly!

What... What happened to Takagi?

The video went static.

Don't die! Takagi!

Sa... Sato! We're on duty, you know?

Who cares? Nobody's watching anyway.

He seems to be okay.

Takagi...

You should've just died.

Shiratori, I'll leave the rest to you.

Yes, sir.

Megure. The two of them are fine.

You go on and join the Hokkaido police right away.

It ran out of battery.

We're a month late to visit Date's grave.

Well, Takagi...

You had to go through a lot, like frostbite and everything.

It can't be helped.

If only I had relayed to her

that Date had died of a traffic accident that day,

this wouldn't have happened.

Don't be silly.

Ms. Natalie knew about it.

She knew that Date had passed away.

Date's parents remembered her.

When they went to the hospital to confirm his body,

they saw a Japanese-American girl standing outside the room with tears in her eyes.

It seems that Date had planned to see

and talk to her parents that night.

It also seems he wanted to bring his parents along

and introduce her to them.

Is that so?

That's why it wasn't your fault, Takagi.

(Date Family Grave)

But...

I wanted to give her this after all.

This ring.

Because Date's last words...

was probably referring to this.

I'm leaving this...

to you...

A toothpick.

Why is it here?

Come to think of it,

he used to always have a toothpick in his mouth.

Yes.

Somebody who came to pay a visit here before us

probably left it here as an offering.

I wonder who it was, though.

(What have you been up to? Call me every now and again! Date.)

(Delete Cancel)

That was Love Story at Police Headquarters.

Today's story ends here.

The continuation will be on Detective Conan The Movie: The Bride of Halloween.

Well, maybe just a little more!

As expected from Miwako!

You chose the perfect one.

That Takagi also looks madly in love!

I hope so.

Sato, I'm nervous!
