The rhythm of the wind sharpens the skill of deduction.

Alibis and tricks are unraveled.

Queer actions after committing the crime.

An accident or a case of homicide. What is the hidden truth?

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

Oh no... not again.

Why is it that all the cars you rent

always break down, dad?

We can't even use the cell phone in the mountains like this.

We've got no choice but to wait for the fog to clear.

Hey, don't smoke in a small place like this!

Shut up! I'll open the window, okay?

Gosh, now what...

It's nothing.

Ran, I'll bet you're scared.

That there's a mountain monster

looking at us from somewhere.

I can't hear you, I can't hear a thing!

Just as I though...

Gosh, hopeless...

Oh, it's a car.

Saved...

It turned the corner.

Wait a second.

Was there are side road there?

Pops, which means the car we just saw...

Yeah.

It could've been an apparition.

"The Lucky Cigar Case (Part 1)"

Hey, hey, let's not...

Don't worry.

You saw the sign, didn't you?

It's a study facility for a legitimate company.

The people of the company

would never be in a place like this at this time!

I'm sure the car we just saw is a robber's car or something.

What the...

I'll go first and check things out!

Be careful!

Oh, it's a car.

It still warm.

It's a cute car.

What a relief!

Bad people don't ride cars like this, do they?

There seems to be a lot of other cars. See.

This one is warmer!

The car that came in here just a while ago is probably this car!

This car is still warm too.

Which means...

There are people here for sure!

-Let's go! -Okay!

Kuron Health Equipment Corporation.

I've never heard of them.

You two, mind your manners.

Yes, sir!

Hello!

Is anyone in?

They couldn't be sleeping at this hour yet, could they...

What it is?

I'm sorry to be intruding on you at this hour,

but our car broke down nearby.

So, you see, we're stalled in this fog,

so we would like to ask you for some help.

Please go find someone else to help you,

because I'm going to get busy from now.

Wait!

Please at least lend us your phone! Please!

Please wait!

Wait.

Hey!

What a guy.

I promise that if I die, I'll come and haunt you!

Darn.

I guess we'll just have to go back to the car.

It's cold.

You seem to be in trouble.

Please do come in.

Wow, is it okay?

Thank you so very much!

What a fix, eh.

This is a study facility for the company

that there's usually no one here.

The phone's over there.

Thank you.

Are you sure it's okay?

What if they're spies?

Talk about push over,

or rather is it that you have a lot of elbow room

because you're in the 1st development section?

I heard you all!

Oh, president.

Just what are you guys doing?

We're sorry to be intruding on you,

but we're not suspicious people.

I am a private detective and my name is Kogoro Mouri.

Mouri, you mean that famous "Sleeping Mouri"?

Yes, well...

this is my daughter Ran,

and the little one there is Conan.

Oh my,

I am very honored to be able meet you.

I am the president of Kuron Health Equipment Corporation, Umetani.

Please make yourselves at home here.

Oh, that's right!

Mr. Mouri, please become a monitor for us!

How about it?

We having an in-company competition on a relax sheet,

and we would appreciate it if you could give us

your unbiased opinion how you feel about it.

Oh...

There, right there.

This is just great.

It feels so good!

Dad, you're so embarrassing.

I've never experienced a great massage chair like this!

It fits right into the vital spot.

Yes, the combination of the softness of tanned hide

and the combination of artificial leather for durability

makes for a sensation of perfect fit.

Just as expected of the 1st development section!

Well done, Nakano!

But, president.

That artificial leather you take pride in is made in Italy!

Moreover, for the massager part,

high grade silicone rubber is lavishly used!

Therefore, the production cost is too high.

What? What is the meaning of this, Nakano?

The original parts of the basic components such as the rollers,

are of the same product line as what we've used so far,

so as far as that's concerned, the cost is...

You idiot!

Never mind durability!

But, even if we don't make much profit,

so long as we produce good items to our customers,

eventually...

Eventually is not what we're after!

Make profit for me right this minute!

Rather, what I mean is,

if we don't keep dishing out new products,

the customers will give up on us.

Next!

That president is kind of scary, isn't he?

Yeah.

Next for the 2nd development section's Ecstasy One.

This product is made for the younger generation.

Please take a look.

This seat is a cover-type seat.

There are 7 color variations and the color of the customer's choice

can be chosen to meet any type of interior.

The back part of the seat can be reclined to any angle,

and it can also be used in the living room as a sofa.

I see,

it sure seems to be great for a young person's room!

You move this device using the remote controller

that is in the side pocket.

First, let's start with full body massage...

Are you sleepy, Conan?

Stop it already.

What on earth is this?

It's made for young people

so maybe it's too strong for you, Mr. Mouri?

I'll switch it to weak sleep mode.

No thanks!

Relieve my tiredness, my foot!

My whole body feels as if it's going to fall apart!

But...

Kasahara! That's enough.

-Oh, well... -Next! Hiramatsu!

Yes.

Hey, hey, what's this?

Are you going to beat up some monster?

Come to think of it,

my child has a toy that looks something like this.

Really, it looks like some robot animation.

Well, take a look at it, please.

Oh, yes, right there!

Right, just great, right there!

Dad?

How does this thing know just where I want to be massaged?

Right! That's exactly what the main feature

of this business type AIMS is all about!

A micro sensor detects the part of your body that is stiff

and massages with the exact strength needed.

Sounds like a great function,

but I'll bet the cost is really high.

No, the only thing new is the program,

and the rest involves diverting what was being used till now,

so I think the cost is less than half of what your cost is!

Besides, with a function as good as that,

it'll probably sell even if the price is a bit high.

Yes.

So! I'll think over which machine I'll sell

while taking a smoke.

Mr. Mouri, do make yourself at home too!

Thank you. I don't want to come out just yet.

Well, it feels so good, I feel like falling asleep.

Dad, you're interfering everybody with their work!

It's okay, because it seems he's already decided so...

I'm sorry.

Things are moving really fast today, don't you think?

It seems like the rumor about behind the scenes negotiations

was true after all.

It's probably because Mr. Mouri played monitor for us.

President didn't even have to think about it,

but I guess he just wanted to emphasize his importance.

I get it!

Maybe the rumor about the development section

going to be downsized is true!

Maybe he's thinking over which development section

to shut down now.

By the way, Mr. Kasahara, your seat

pushes at the vital points even if it isn't moving.

It's so lumpy!

What? How dare you...

Please calm down, Mr. Kasahara!

Thank you everyone!

May you all work together in peace.

I hope all of your inventions end up being marketed.

It's all your fault!

You're to blame for this.

Right, you do monitor for him,

representing the young generation, Ran!

No, I'd rather not...

Where's Conan?

Conan! What are you doing?

Don't touch things here!

Isn't this a knife? It's dangerous!

But, I wonder if it's for real.

It's real!

The president is a famous knife collector.

There's a lot of talk about his collection with our clients,

so he has a lot decorated at the company too.

Sorry to keep you guys waiting!

I've made up my mind!

We're going to put AIMS of the 3rd development section on the market!

And, we're going to consolidate the first

and second development sections into one section.

Will everyone except Hiramatsu leave the room?

-President! -I'll talk to you later!

Thank you so much also, Mr. Mouri.

Please relax in the reception corner.

After we finish work, I'd like to talk with you over drinks.

Wow, that'd be just great!

Okay, I'll be waiting then.

They can't dispatch a repair car until the fog clears up after all.

I'll bet you're really relieved

because you can drink all you like now!

Well, I guess I'll go make some coffee then.

Oh, let me help you!

I have to go to the restroom.

The restroom's beyond the room we were in just a while ago.

It's the second door to your left.

Okay!

Please nullify my contract with you!

I'm fed up having to work under you!

Do I look like a softy who would say, "Yes, of course",

and nullify our contract?

No...

so I have already made appropriate arrangements.

So, that you would by no means refuse to do so.

I'm definite that you won't refuse.

They're sure taking their time.

He's probably being threatened

and signing a ruthless contract or something.

Serves him right.

A ruthless contract?

Yes.

What does it mean to nullify a contract?

Gosh!

Keep out of this, kid!

Sonny, did you hear Hiramatsu say so to the president?

Don't tell me Hiramatsu's planning to quit the company?

Which means that you're all contract employees?

Yes, when the president finds a talented developer,

he forces the developer to sign a long-term contract with him,

and makes it difficult for the person to quit easily.

By force? No.

It's true.

The president's physique is as you saw him.

Besides, he carries a "dan" in karate.

Even if he doesn't really hit you and stops just before hitting,

a weak hearted person would panic

and sign the contract immediately.

Oh, no.

Well, Kasahara and I have been here

since the previous president was our boss,

so we've been spared that karate scare

but all the young staff are being tempered here

at this study dormitory.

Moreover, he takes advantage of tax exemptions

and uses company funds to cover everything

from his hobby of collecting knives to giving gifts to women.

Even on our way here... take a look at this!

What's that?

Strange, that's the sound of a car...

It's Mr. Hiramatsu's car.

I wonder what's going on.

The window on the other side!

It's open.

No way?

Conan?

-This is? -President.

President? President!

Please get a hold of yourself!

Please stay back!

Mr. Umetani, are you okay?

He's still breathing!

President!

Ran! Get the ambulance and the police!

Yes!

Let's leave the rest to Ran and go after Mr. Hiramatsu!

The car in the foreground!

I've got the keys.

It's the president's but I drive it so...

Wait! There's a flat!

This side is super flat too!

The tires of my car are flat too!

Darn!

In the mountains like this,

it's faster to take him to the hospital by car

than to wait for an ambulance but...

-Oh, president. -President!

Mr. Umetani.

President, please get a hold of yourself!

The knife fell off!

What's going on?

This is?

The knife poked into the cigar case!

Which means that the cigar case saved his life?

-President! -Thank god!

Mr. Umetani, what in the world happened?

Hiramatsu suddenly stabbed me with a knife.

It seems that there was a thick fog at the time of the accident

and besides this slope is steep and the curve is very sharp...

It's most likely that he couldn't steer fast enough

while he was on the run.

Yeah, most likely...

All the tires of the other cars were flat,

so there was no reason for him to rush as much as he did, though.

If he could think on that line,

he wouldn't have gotten enraged and stab somebody.

Exactly!

Just as expected of you Mr. Mouri, very sharp deduction!

Well...

Well, the victim is only slightly hurt,

so we'll be able to get at the motive of the stabber right away.

Right.

Sonny! What are you doing?

You shouldn't be in here.

What's this mirror?

Oh, that?

It's called a corner mirror.

From here on down, it's the land of that company

and it's a private road.

It seems that nobody is here now, though.

See, there's the sign of the company.

It says public welfare facility.

Well, it's like a company villa.

This large rock is really a pain

and it blocks vision when going in and out

making it really dangerous.

On this side, there's this sharp curve too.

There's a curve mirror there for the public road too.

Because I'm in charge around here,

I wanted a corner mirror for the private road!

I see.

The position of the mirror is not right.

It's good that they made a large one,

but I wonder if the wind blows it out of place.

It was okay in the day time!

Oh, I think it's better not to fix it.

It could've been the reason the accident occurred, right?

Oh, no!

And, Mr. Mouri wants you to check the brakes of the car right away!

Mr. Mouri want me to?

I see!

The brakes may have not been working.

I'll ask using the wireless so wait a while, okay?

Conan!

Just what are you doing in a place like this!

Dad's angry because he wants you to come back up.

I'm sorry.

Hurry, quick.

Oh, wait.

I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

I tell you! Stop scampering around!

I'm going to leave you here!

I'm sorry.

Calm down, Mr. Mouri.

Mr. Mouri!

Inspector Yokomizo!

About your question a while ago...

It seems that the brake oil of the car was completely gone.

-Huh? -What did you just say?

I can't tell for sure whether it happened

because of the shock of the accident

or whether it happened before the accident,

but the tube seems to have come off.

Which means, Mr. Mouri...

the oil leaked out and the brakes may not have been working.

It's only natural for him to have gotten into an accident

on this mountainous road.

Strange.

There are too many strange things involved.

A person who gets enraged, stabs someone and flees,

flattens the tires of everyone's car

because he doesn't want anyone to come after him.

This same person panics and steers his car out of control,

and falls over the cliff to his death.

The curve mirror that was facing the wrong way.

Brake oil that was completely gone.

Something smells fishy.

Very fishy!

Next Conan's Hint:

"Cigar"

Dad, which of the massage chairs was good?

I can't tell unless I get to drink some beer.

Talk about hopeless.
