Original subtitles

Love and hate are brought together.

Through both reasoning and suspense.

Today, we're on the set of a drama.

The members of the cast are human, too!

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

Good evening, everyone.

I am Detective Kogoro Mouri.

The stage for today is this remote western style building.

A mystery entangled with love and hate.

The focal point of this case is "colour".

When people go shopping,

they tend to unconsciously select the colour they like...

Even at the scene of a crime.

Let's meet again at the end of the show.

This was Kogoro Mouri.

Okay, cut!

Fantastic! Mr. Mouri, you were just great.

Dad, you were really awesome.

Oh, really?

You could've cut out that wink at the end of the scene, though.

"Invisible Suspect (Part 1)"

Well, thank you very much. You were really a great help!

The popular actor who always does the opening prologue for this drama

caught a nasty cold.

You don't have to use me just as a pinch-hitter,

do feel free to call on me anytime!

If it's okay with you, I don't mind acting

in this detective drama as a special guest or something either.

Well, not really.

That's impossible, Mr. Detective.

Because in this story...

There are only the widowed mistress, her daughter the shrew,

their decrepit butler...

"Yoshiki Kazami (28)" -and aside from the daughter's murdered husband

and my role as a detective, there are only these five characters.

Hey, what's with that shrew bit?

"Kasumi Namihara (26)" -I'm supposed to be a character

that slightly like flashy things. That's about all, isn't it?

The character turns out a shrew because you're the one playing the role.

What did you just say?

By the way, Kazami,

"Akira Nagumo (60)" -I didn't like you remark, "decrepit" either.

I just turned 60.

I wasn't referring to your age.

I meant that your acting is decrepit.

What?

I hear that you were a great actor some time in the past, though.

Now, now.

Cool it, Dad.

"Nobuharu Nagumo (31)" -Let's not quarrel just before shooting the drama.

Mr. Kazami, please calm down.

Ms. Ujo sure is late, though.

Are you referring to that Ms. Ujo...

The one who used to be the number one comforting actress, Ruri Ujo?

Huh? Yes.

You mean, I get to see Ms. Ujo in person?

Huh? Get to see her in person?

She's the one who named you to substitute to do the opening prologue.

What?

I don't know if she's some former healer type actress...

I sure wouldn't want to be healed by an old maid like her.

Oh, my. I wouldn't want that either.

You're no more than a failure of an idol kid

"Ruri Ujo (37)" -who smells like piss.

You're really her!

You're even prettier than on TV!

Well, hello.

How do you do? I'm Kogoro Mouri.

I hear that you're the one who named me to take this job?

I don't think it's the fist time we're meeting, is it?

Really? Have we met somewhere before?

Oh, come on.

Doesn't this mole under my lips remind you either?

Kogoro!

Mole?

Ruri Doigaki?

Bull's eye!

Rurippe? Long time no see!

You can say that again!

We haven't seen each other since junior high school!

Huh? Don't tell me they know each other?

No kidding.

I had no idea whatsoever!

Your last name is different, too.

And besides, back then you were wearing glasses with super thick lens.

Well? I turned out to be pretty foxy, don't you think?

You did, you sure did.

But why haven't you gotten married yet?

Being as beautiful as you are,

I'm sure you've got a multitude of guys to pick from.

Don't be silly.

It's because one-sidedly in love with you all these years, why else?

Please stop joking with him.

Because he's bound to take you seriously.

Oh, my. Who is she?

She is just some girl who lives in the neighborhood.

I am his daughter, Ran!

Oh, my. Then, she's Eri's daughter?

Do you know my mother?

Yes.

I was with her all the way from kindergarten to junior high school.

But it still is sure a mystery.

As to why Eri, the smartest girl in school

and Kogoro, the most mischievous boy

fell so lovey-dovey in love as they did

and finally ended up marrying each other.

Very true.

You mean they were in love with each other for that long?

Hey...

Yes!

Eri who always kept her cool would really get upset

and go all out when her counterpart was Kogoro!

So, we all took it to be a lover's quarrel.

And they were constantly being teased.

They're still quarreling to this day.

What a surprise though.

That the Kogoro that I used to know is now a renown detective.

Okay, let's start camera rehearsal for scene 134!

Ready, start!

The corpse in front of the fireplace is covered with a gray tablecloth.

And the victim's black coat is hanging on over the chair of that table.

Near the corpse, on the floor

is the murder weapon,

a golf club with a white head cover on it.

I guess we can say that the case has already been solved.

Don't keep us in suspense, just spit it out!

Come on, tell us who it is.

Who on earth is the killer?

I was actually supposed to explain what went on, but...

Hey.

There's no such dialogue in the script.

Tonight, Detective Mouri...

Let's have you solve the case.

Huh?

First, tell us why the killer covered the corpse with a tablecloth.

That's probably because...

Because the killer loved the victim.

That's why the killer didn't want to leave the corpse there

without doing anything about it.

But the coat was on the chair, you know.

Why did the killer go to the trouble of using the tablecloth?

The reason is...

because the gray tablecloth seemed to be warmer than the black coat.

Huh?

Hey, don't tell me that you're serious about what you just said.

Give me a break.

You were dropping hints in the opening prologue yourself.

Why does gray seem warmer than black?

Huh? Don't you think so?

Your friend's not all that great either, is he?

Dad, talk seriously.

Come on. Get serious, Kogoro!

No way! This is as far as this old man goes.

Gosh.

He has appeared!

The Sleeping Kogoro!

Excuse me.

Since the deduction was so simple,

I sort of felt like playing a bit of a prank.

What?

It wasn't that the killer

wanted to cover the corpse with the gray tablecloth,

the killer didn't want to cover the corpse with the black coat.

Because the killer likes the colour black.

It's most likely that the killer subconsciously thought

that using a favorite colour at the scene of the murder

may bring on suspicion.

See, please take a good look at the golf bag

that is left standing against the fireplace.

Only the club with the black head cover is sticking out, right?

This is because the killer was going to use the club with the black cover

as the murder weapon,

but decided against it while pulling it out.

It's an evidence that the killer decided to use the white ones instead.

Furthermore, taking into consideration that the furniture in this room

as well as the curtains are all coordinated with the colour black,

shows that the owner of this house

that is the killer is wearing a black dress.

Rurippe, it's the role you're playing,

who is the mistress of this house.

Don't you agree?

Amazing! Just as expected of the Sleeping Kogoro.

He hit the bull's eye.

Just as rumor has it, you didn't let us down, Kogoro.

Gosh. Why didn't you start off seriously to begin with?

The real thing is distinguished after all.

Corpses aren't supposed to move!

Hey!

Hey! Just what do you think you're doing?

Are you okay, Nobuharu?

Kasumi?

So, after that playwright, you're switching over to that guy?

Huh?

This was still supposed to be off the records, right?

Hey, you! Enough is enough!

Are you sure want to talk to me like that, old fart?

I know about you secretly seeing a young lover night after night.

What?

I'm not really sure who or where that lady is yet,

but I sort of have an idea.

I do have an idea.

Let me go!

What's with that look on your faces, you guys?

I could make this drama go down the drain

if you want it that way, you know?

What a bummer.

I'm going to go take a nap in the room until I feel more up to it,

so go ahead and film the scenes that I don't appear in.

What's with that guy?

He's the oldest son of the owner of the newspaper agency

that is the main sponsor for this drama.

I see.

That's why he knows so much of what's going on behind the scenes.

Yes.

And to make things worse, his obnoxious character

seems to be getting high ratings among the viewers.

To be honest, I really don't want to act on a program

where he's the star of the show, but I have no choice.

Because my office says I should since the rating is high.

Well, it doesn't bother me much

now that I got to see you after so long, Kogoro.

Okay. Why don't we take a 30 minute break?

And start shooting again after refreshing our feelings a bit!

Yes, sir...

What?

Fighting over sauce and shoyu?

You mean Mom and Dad?

That's right.

They got into a great battle during home economics class

in elementary school over whether sauce or shoyu

should be used on sunny side up.

Eri insisted that sauce should be used

because sunny side up is a western style dish,

but Kogoro insisted that the Japanese should use shoyu.

It puzzles me even more.

So, why'd they get married?

But the order in which they ate what was made

was exactly the same,

so the entire class burst out laughing.

Next, they get into a fight saying, "Stop copying me!"

It's really hard to tell whether they get along or not.

Never mind about the past already.

No. Please tell me more about it!

Hey.

Huh? What is it?

Snow.

See, it's snowing.

They did say that it may snow today on the weather forecast.

Hey, why don't we all go outside and watch the snow?

But we've only got five minutes of break time left.

Who cares if it's only five minutes?

It's the first snowfall this year, you know!

I guess so.

Come on, let's hurry.

I love it when it snows after all.

Right, Conan?

What seems to be the matter?

I don't see Ruri around.

Huh?

Where's Ruri?

Huh?

I thought I came out together with her.

Rurippe?

Darn it!

Rurippe?

Rurippe?

Kogoro.

No good, his pupils are completely dilated.

He's already dead.

Ran, call the police.

Okay.

But who did it?

Who could've done something so ruthless like this?

Beats me.

He was the type to make enemies so...

But in cases like this

isn't the first one to be suspected

is the one who first found the body?

Huh?

No, I didn't do it.

When I came to this room,

he was already smeared with blood!

It's true. Please believe me, Kogoro.

Yes, I believe you.

We won't be fooled by your crying and all!

An actress' tears is one of her weapons.

Hey, Kasumi.

But if things go as is,

we may also be suspected of homicide, you know?

Everything will be fine. We'll be okay.

The victim is Mr. Yoshiki Kazami, age 28.

The cause of death is loss of blood due to damage

to the carotid artery.

He was probably attacked while asleep on this sofa here

and slashed in the throat or something.

The estimated time of death

is between 7:50 pm when the victim came here to take a nap

to the time he was found dead at 8:20 pm.

A period of 30 minutes.

I think it was shorter.

Because when we were looking around this house

and came into this room on the way, he was snoring away and sleeping.

Hey, Conan!

That was just around 8:00 pm. Isn't that right, Ran?

Yes. Because Dad looked at his watch

saying that he was fast asleep in 10 minutes.

Ran and Conan!

Which means that...

Mr. Mouri!

So, you're here after all.

Thank you for looking after my younger brother the other day.

Oh, no.

That was really no big deal.

Kogoro, do you know him?

Yes.

How do you do?

I'm Inspector Yokomizo from the Shizuoka Prefectural Police.

I've finally got to meet you, Mrs. Mouri!

Huh?

Am I wrong?

No.

Well, I guess you're wrong. But then again maybe not.

Wrong!

I'm only joking. It's a just a joke.

Huh? Don't tell me that you're...

Ruri Ujo, the actress?

Yes.

Huh? And you're...

You and you, too.

What's going on here?

Why are there so many actors and actresses here?

It's just as if you're shooting a drama or something here.

That's what we're doing here.

So, this is how it goes?

You're shooting a detective story here at this European style building

out in the rural side of Mountain Fuji

when a real homicide happened to occur.

So, this is indeed a case of the biter being bitten.

Well, I guess so.

And? In the 20 minutes after 8 pm,

when the murder is thought to have been committed,

the shooting was stopped so everyone could take a break.

And all you staff members stayed in groups of more than two people,

so all of you have an alibi.

The ones without an alibi are Ms. Ruri Ujo, who found the corpse

and each of the actors and actresses who went back

to their respective rooms to check the dialogue in the script.

Which is Ms. Kasumi Namihara.

Mr. Akira Nagumo,

and Mr. Nobuharu Nagumo,

the four of you.

Ms. Ujo.

Please explain how things were when you discovered the corpse.

Yes, sir.

Since we decided to take a break, Kogoro here...

No. Mr. Mouri and everybody else including myself

went looking around inside the building.

Then, we noticed that it began to snow.

So, we invited the staff to come along

and went outside to look at the snow.

Since the snow was so beautiful,

I wanted Mr. Kazami to take a look at it, too.

So, I came over to this room.

Besides, he was sulky

after going through what he did during the shooting, too.

But when I opened the door,

he was lying on the floor smeared with blood.

I thought he was joking and shook him,

but he didn't answer.

That's when I finally realized that he was dead and screamed.

I see.

So, the three of you heard her scream and ran over here.

Yes.

That's right.

Okay. Will the four of you

go to the other room and go through a body check?

Huh? Why?

We can't find it.

It isn't anywhere in this building.

We haven't found the approximately 10 centimeter long blade

that was used to slit Kazami's throat.

Inspector Yokomizo!

How about it?

Did you find the weapon?

Well, all four of them had nothing like that on them.

We also checked the staff's belongings,

and the other rooms from one end to the other.

But things that could've been used as the murder weapon

were only the knife in the kitchen,

a small knife for cutting fruit,

and a cutter knife that was found in the tool box of the staff.

We found no luminol reaction from any of those things.

All the victim had on him

was this pack of cigarettes, this lighter, and his wallet.

We're searching inside the drains

and around the building with a metal detector,

but we haven't got any report that anything was found yet.

Darn it.

Even though we've already found the golf club and coat

that the killer might have used to commit the murder...

why can't we find the murder weapon?

Moreover, the glove and the coat

are props that are used when filming dramas,

but it seems that nobody was in the room

where these things were during break time.

Which means that anybody could've taken it with considerable ease.

And? Where are the four suspects now?

I have them waiting in the room together with Mr. Mouri.

If the killer is among them,

it would be impossible to get rid of the murder weapon

by taking it somewhere far away in such a short time.

And yet, why?

Why can't the murder weapon be found?

"Lighter"
