Love and hate are brought together.

Through both reasoning and suspense.

How will Pops Kogoro's statement help the case?

How will it affect the Prosecution's, the Defense and Conan's case?

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

Ms. Kisaki and Ms. Kujo, the "Madonna" of the prosecutor's office

are to battle it out in court again.

The case is about the defendant is accused to breaking into an office

and when the victim found out, they fought,

he accidentally kills the victim during the struggle.

But Prosecutor Kujo claims that he did intend to kill the victim

and he is charged with burglary and murder!

Pops Kogoro and I start to investigate

and we discover something at the crime scene.

It can't be...

I knew it!

I don't get it.

The partition is blocking the way, I can't see you from here!

What did you say?

Mr. Akiyama, what is the meaning of this?

Watch it! Stop wandering around!

What's this?

That's it, I've got it now!

I've solved the mystery behind this case.

"Court Battle 2: Kisaki vs Kujo (Part 2)"

Thank you for your help.

No problem. Was I of any help to your case?

Well, the police and the prosecutor's office

already went through the place thoroughly.

I didn't expect to find anything to overturn the case.

I see.

I know.

Why don't you come to my restaurant now and have something to eat?

I'll bring out a special wine.

No, that'd be too much.

He was nice enough to offer!

It wouldn't hurt to drop by!

Kogoro...

Have you forgotten, Ran's waiting for you at home?

Your daughter?

Yes.

Why don't you ask her to come too?

Geez, that's nice of you.

The more the merrier when it comes to dining, I always say.

Thank you, we accept then.

This is a very good wine.

I'm glad you like it.

I like the atmosphere of your restaurant.

Thank you very much.

I'll be testifying at the next trial,

please go easy on me.

You found your father-in-law's body

when you went to return something he'd forgotten, didn't you?

Yes. He had dinner here and left without his glasses.

His glasses?

Yes, his reading glasses.

Take your time and enjoy your meal.

This restaurant looks fancy

but the pasta isn't very good, right?

You're right.

The olive oil is a little heavy.

By the way, how are things for the next trial going?

Not too good.

You'll lose unless you change your approach.

And what do you mean by that?

You won't get him off on the burglary and murder charge.

So you've to stress the fact that he did it out of love for his daughter

and that the victim was also at fault.

Are you saying I should accept the prosecution's charges

and ask for leniency due to extenuating circumstances?

What choice do you have?

Don't be ridiculous!

The defendant insists that he had no intention of killing him!

You believe everything your client tells you,

that's why "Madonna" always gets you in court.

Don't you tell me how to do my job!

I'm not helping you because I want to, you know?

Come on you two, that's enough!

Why do you always fight like this?

I'm sure that on the list of things found on the crime scene.

I'm sure it was in here somewhere.

Here it is!

I've found it.

The undeniable proof!

Conan?

What is it? Why are you looking through the files?

Well, something in here was bothering me.

What do you mean?

Look, see this list of things found on the crime scene...

Hey, you!

You keep messing around with important documents!

Good grief!

Well if you're going to be like that,

why don't you think of something that'll help mom?

She's so stubborn.

I hope "Madonna" beats her in court.

Just listen to you!

I'll bet you just don't have the confidence to beat Ms. Kujo.

You've got some nerve!

She's no match for me.

Then why don't you defend him?

He can't. Dad doesn't have a license to practice law.

Why can't he be a special counsel then?

What's that?

If someone with a license to practice law

or if the defendant makes a request,

the person they indicate can act as a lawyer.

Show the court how brilliant your deductive powers are.

My brilliant deductive powers?

Well, any crime can be solved by me.

If you insist, let me think about it.

What? Him as special counsel?

Yes! He wants to help you so much, mom.

Thanks but no thanks.

But why?

Dad really wants to help!

So you say but I just don't think he has the ability.

But...

I have a message from Pops Kogoro,

he wants you and the building superintendent

to come to the crime scene tonight.

What? To the crime scene?

He said you'll see something

that will change the way things are going in court.

Change the way things are going in court?

I'm sorry to have to put you through this again.

I don't mind but what do you want me to do?

I'm not too clear on that myself.

Mr. Akiyama.

Will you do exactly what you did that night?

Hey, Conan. Where is Kogoro?

He stepped outside to get things ready.

Outside?

"Takuya Akiyama (56)" -All right, I understand.

"Superintendent" -Just do exactly like the other night, right?

Let's see, there was no one here that night when I got here,

Mr. Arima looked through that little window

to see inside the office.

And he said somebody was inside, didn't he?

Yes, that's right.

So I took a look too and...

What is that?

I don't believe it!

Impossible!

Is there somebody inside?

I don't understand.

Take a look for yourself, Ms. Kisaki.

What is that?

I set things up exactly like Pops Kogoro told me to.

Set things up?

Are you saying he knows who the killer is?

Yes, he said he'd explain everything in court.

"Second Trial of Burglary and Murder Case"

With mom and dad on the same side, we can't lose.

"Takashi Inoue (55)" -Who would have thought,

she'd ask Kogoro Mouri be appointed special counsel,

Attorney Kisaki must be really desperate.

All rise!

Mr. Akiyama.

You stated that you looked into the victim's office

through the small window

and saw him being beaten by the defendant,

is that correct?

Yes.

How many times did the assailant's strike the victim?

I saw three blows being delivered.

Shortly after that,

you heard the sound of the victim falling to the floor, correct?

Yes.

End of questioning!

Does the defense have any questions for the witness?

I do.

Mr. Akiyama.

You claim that you saw the victim being hit

but did you see the assailant's face?

No, I...

I didn't actually see the assailant's face.

What do you mean by that?

What exactly did you see then?

The light outside cast the assailant's shadow on the wall.

Order in the court!

So you're saying you merely saw the assailant's shadow, correct?

Yes, that's correct.

It's the same thing.

As long as he saw the assailant, seeing his shadow is good enough.

Let me ask you one more time.

Mr. Akiyama, is the defendant here,

the assailant you saw that evening?

No, like I said, I only saw a shadow on the wall.

So you're not sure that the defendant is the assailant then, correct?

Yes.

Thank you.

No more questions.

Gosh! What is dad doing?

He hasn't done anything except sleep.

Don't worry, his time will come.

Are you sure?

I would like to call Mr. Arima to the witness stand.

Mr. Arima, you and Mr. Akiyama heard

the sound of the victim falling, didn't you?

Yes, I'm certain of it.

The door was locked so you broke it down by ramming into it

and then ran inside.

Yes. But the assailant's had already escaped through the window

and my father-in-law,

I mean, Mr. Otsu was on the floor.

And what about the safe?

It was open.

No more questions.

Defense, your turn.

Here goes.

Guess it's time for me to liven up this boring trial.

Good luck, dad.

I'll see how he does first!

Special counsel, you may proceed to question the witness

Yes, sir!

Mr. Arima.

You claimed that you arrived at the victim's office a little past 9 pm

to deliver an item he'd forgotten, is that correct?

Yes, my father-in-law forgot his reading glasses at my restaurant.

But the office was locked and you couldn't enter.

That's right.

The door was actually unlocked, wasn't it?

And the victim was in his office

counting the money in the safe.

What are you getting at?

Are you implying that I...

No, I'm merely pointing out the fact that

you could have committed the crime too.

Ridiculous!

Why would I kill my father-in-law?

When it comes to money,

you can't trust your own family.

Unlike usual, Pops Kogoro is actually making some sense.

Objection!

Special counsel is merely voicing his own opinion!

Objection granted.

Special counsel shall stick to the facts at hand.

But based on my many years of experience,

the first person to report the crime is usually the guilty one.

All right then, based on your many years of experience,

how do you explain the things left on the crime scene

and the defendant's fingerprints on the safe?

When the witness and the victim were fighting over money,

the defendant was looking in through the window, watching them.

Well, that's a new theory.

Then after the witness hit the victim over the head and left,

the defendant took the opportunity to enter the office

to steal the money in the safe.

Then who was the assailant Mr. Akiyama saw?

The truth is, the victim wasn't dead yet.

He regained consciousness and struggled with the defendant.

Hey, now you're going way off base.

What you're saying then is,

the defendant did indeed commit the murder

I guess I am.

What are you saying?

You're supposed to be here to defend the client!

I'm a famous private detective!

I'm here to solve this case!

I was a fool to depend on you.

Forget it! You just keep out of my way!

How dare you? I'm not finished, I'm getting to the best part.

Family fuels should be carried out elsewhere.

I hate you, dad!

I guess it's time I took Pops Kogoro out.

You just sit down and keep your mouth shut!

Am I your decoration piece?

Your honor, I'd like to retract my previous statements.

Just forget it.

The defendant entered that office before Mr. Arima,

not after.

The victim walked in on him while he was trying to get the safe open,

he hit the victim inadvertently and ran out of the office.

The question is what happened after that.

The defendant thought he had killed the victim

but the truth is, he had just knocked him unconscious.

Someone else arrived on the scene shortly after and killed him!

Are you saying that it was me?

You claimed that the victim forgot his reading glasses

in your restaurant, isn't that correct?

Yes.

Did he need his reading glasses during meals too?

Well, he needs them to read the menu.

That's strange.

The indictment states that the victim opened the safe

because the defendant threatened him.

The victim didn't have his glasses,

I wonder how he managed to get the safe open

and his office was dark,

the only light was from the neon sign outside?

How should I know?

The victim was still alive

when you delivered his glasses, wasn't he?

Father, are you in?

What happened?

Your head's bleeding!

Leave me alone! It's nothing.

That was right after he wandered in on the burglar.

I'm sure when he regained consciousness,

the first thing he was concerned with was the money in the safe.

I have your glasses here.

When you saw the money,

you thought of killing him

and you hit over the head with the ashtray.

Prosecutor!

I came here as a witness.

Why am I being treated like a suspect?

Mr. Mouri, you've forgotten one very important detail.

The witness has an alibi.

You bet I do!

I was outside of the office when father was beaten

and fell to the floor,

Mr. Akiyama was with me.

Didn't you hear Mr. Akiyama's testimony?

He said that he never saw the assailant.

But he saw a shadow.

Yes, a shadow on the wall.

You committed murder blinded by the money,

now you had to make it look like a burglary, you were desperate.

Then you came up with an idea.

That is using the clock in the victim's office

that has a decoration attached on it.

Your honor!

This clock is exactly like the one in the victim's office.

The assailant's evidently used the movements of this figure

along with the light from the outside

and cast its shadow on the wall

then led Mr. Akiyama into mistaking the time.

What about the sound? Explain that!

Mr. Akiyama and I hear my father fall!

That's easy.

What?

You probably put a golf ball

tied with a string under the leg of the desk in the victim's office.

The other end of the string led under the door

to the outside of the office

and when Mr. Akiyama looked inside and got a scare,

you pulled the string.

See? Didn't I say it was easy?

Do you have any proof I did it?

Anyone could have done what you said!

If you have proof that I did it, I'd like to see it!

The witness is right.

If you're insisting he's guilty,

I'd like to see some proof too!

The proof, Prosecutor,

is on that list of things found at the crime scene that you're holding.

On this list?

It says screw for eyeglasses, doesn't it?

If it belongs to the victim's reading glasses,

when did it get where it was found?

He was supposed to have left his glasses at the restaurant.

It came loose and fell off when the assailant hit the victim,

that's the only explanation I can think of.

Another thing, Mr. Arima.

You used your cook's apron

to wipe your fingerprints off the ashtray, didn't you?

The lab report stated that the ashtray was wiped

with a cloth containing oil.

Requesting permission to have a sample of the olive oil

used in Mr. Arima's restaurant to be tested

against the oil on the cloth used to wipe the ashtray!

Mr. Arima, after the crime,

you repaid a loan of 50 million yen, didn't you?

We can always have that money tested for fingerprints.

He deserved it!

That abusive old man.

You must be relieved, your money's safe.

Do you want some of this?

But if you don't pay me back what you owe me by next week,

I don't care if you are my daughter's husband,

I'm going to have you kicked out of that restaurant!

Mr. Mouri, you were right about everything.

I killed my father-in-law!

Your honor,

I would like to revise charges of burglary and murder

against the defendant to attempted burglary

and I would like to press charges against Mr. Arima.

Does the defense have any objections?

None.

Then the court is dismissed!

Ms. Kisaki.

A terrible injustice was about to be made,

thank you for preventing it.

I was just doing my job

I'll be looking forward to seeing you in court again then.

Why don't we all go get something to eat to celebrate?

That reminds me, I'm hungry.

How about some delicious wine and Italian cuisine?

I think I'd like some Japanese rice wine and raw fish instead.

No wait, cold beer and some piping hot stew sounds good too.

Or Chinese cuisine with old Chinese liquor.

Who cares?
