The rhythm of the wind sharpens the skill of deduction.

Alibis and tricks are unraveled.

It's a kidnap case demanding ransom.

What happened in the tunnel?

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

"The Kidnap Car That Disappeared (Part 1)"

"Beika General Hospital"

Yeah, I thought that Masked Yaiba was going to lose yesterday.

What a thing to say!

Yes, he missed his Yaiba kick.

Jun!

Hello!

"Jun Kataoka (7), Kataoka's son"

How's it, Jun?

How's your broken bone? Is it better now?

You don't look too happy.

They're Jun's classmates. They always come to visit him.

Oh.

Thank you so much!

Oh, no, it's nothing, really...

We're friends so...

You two are always like that when you see pretty women.

How disgusting! Don't you think so?

Hey! Jun.

I didn't know you had an older sister.

Did you call me his older sister?

Oh! Yes!

My, how flattering.

She's Ms. Sachiko Ezaki, a fashion designer.

A fashion designer?

Wow!

Did you come to visit Jun?

Yes!

Nice meeting you all!

Come over to my place someday!

You're all very welcomed to come!

Place?

Jun's house.

Jun's house?

What do you mean?

She means...

I think you'd better go already!

Isn't it time for your fashion show recital to start?

Oh, right.

We'd better get going then.

Okay.

See you, Jun.

Since Jun looks bored,

please spend as much time as you can with him.

Goodbye.

Jun, you'll be discharged tomorrow.

Hang in there just one more day, okay?

Is that person called Ezaki...

Is she going to become your new mother?

How nice that such a pretty person's going to be your mother?

My mother who died was much prettier!

She's just marrying daddy because she wants his estate.

Estate?

Right. Because I heard them.

What?

For me?

I'm so happy! Thank you!

How do I look?

They look nice!

And, when shall we have the wedding?

Please wait a little while more.

Until the February show is over.

Are you saying you want to put all your energy into the show?

Yes.

I want it to succeed this time no matter what.

If I don't make it again this time,

I'm going to give up my career as a fashion designer!

My mind's made up.

Okay!

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

By the way, about this show, do you have enough cash?

If you need some...

I'm fine! If I ever need any, I won't hesitate to ask you for help.

So, please be prepared!

Keep it within reasonable range now!

Jun!

Aren't you taking everything too negatively?

A pretty person like her could never...

Genta!

I understand how you feel. Revulsion against your new mother?

Game corner?

You know the one where the supermarket in Haido-cho is?

Do you want to go now?

Please! I've always wanted to go there. Just this once!

But, you're still not fully recovered.

I'm just fine, fine.

The cast is just for show.

I'm doing just fine.

See! Watch!

But...

Are you sure you're okay?

You can go after you're discharged from the hospital tomorrow.

No way, impossible. It would never happen!

As soon as I'm discharged, I'll have to study with my tutor,

go to piano lessons, and English class

that I won't have any time to go play games.

Well, I've always felt sorry for you behind the scenes.

So, please!

Today's the only chance I have.

If we can back here in two hours in time

for the 12pm rounds that the doctor makes,

they'll never even miss me.

Hey! What do you think, Conan?

In order to leave the hospital, first,

you'd have to go past the nurse station.

And, I'm pretty sure that nurse will come by and check the room.

So, as long as somebody sleeps in bed in place...

Hey! Hey! That's absurd.

Come on, we're friends, let's help him.

Yeah, please!

Jun's pleading with us too.

If we ignore his wish,

it'll make a bad name for the Youth Detective Squad!

Right, Conan?

Okay...

Thank you!

Shall we decide by stone, paper, scissors, then, Conan?

What? Stone, paper, scissors?

What's with him?

Conan is really weak when it comes to stone, paper, scissors.

We don't have time, let's hurry!

Let's have eels over rice on the way home!

If you're treating us, Genta!

Yeah!

Well, go enjoy yourselves to your heart's content.

Oh, no!

"Supermarket Moriwaki"

Jun?

Jun?

Hey! Hey!

Jun's bed is empty.

Do you have any idea where he went?

No...

Come to think of it, a bunch of children came to see him.

Shall I go look for them?

It's me, Yoshizawa!

I kidnapped the kid named Jun.

It's going just as you planned.

Now?

Yeah, he's fast asleep.

Where is this?

What happened?

So, you're up, sonny, eh? Get down!

Hurry it up!

What's with you? You can't move yet?

Where is this?

What're you going to do to me?

Hey...

Nothing much.

We're just going to ask your dad for ransom.

You mean I was kidnapped?

Well, I guess so.

Good!

Okay! That's it.

Do the same for tonight's show!

Let's take a break till then!

Fantastic!

No mistake you're going to join the circle of top class designers now.

I sure hope so.

Believe in your ability.

Yes, this is Kataoka.

What?

Jun's been...

Yes! Okay.

I'll head over there right away.

Jun... is something wrong?

It seems he disappeared from the hospital.

What? I'll go with you.

No, I'll go to the hospital alone.

You've got an important show to take care of.

But...

I'm sure everything's okay!

He probably went out to play some place nearby.

There's nothing to worry about!

I'll get in touch with you later!

He hasn't gone home, and I've had the nearby area checked but...

Do you have any idea where else he could be?

I wonder. His leg is hurt, so I don't think he can go that far.

Sachiko!

Did you find out where Jun is?

Sachiko, go back to the show site!

Leave Jun to us.

What's most important to you now is...

Jun is more important than the show.

I won't go back until I know he's safe!

Officer Sato!

How was it?

I asked the nurses.

It seems that the classmates who came to see him

were Conan and the others.

Conan and his friends?

All four of them seem to have come together and gone home together.

Oh. Which means he didn't go out with them.

This is Kataoka.

You kidnaped Jun?

If you want your kid back,

get 30,000,000 yen in old bills ready!

How's Jun? Is Jun okay?

Yeah, he's fine.

I let you hear his voice right now!

Oh no. I don't have my voice changer either.

Here!

He wants to hear your voice.

What's the matter?

Daddy.

Jun!

Seems the kid's panicked that he's lost his voice.

Get the cash ready quick.

Oh, wait.

He hung up.

Mr. Kataoka, does the voice sound familiar to you?

No.

This is the first time I've heard his voice.

Jun's voice was so weak.

I wonder if he's really safe.

I can't say, but please leave the rest up to the police.

All right.

Inspector Megure! Everything's ready.

Thanks!

All we can do now is wait for the kidnapper

to get back in touch with us.

Inspector Megure!

Please answer the phone, Mr. Kataoka!

Yes.

Hello, this is Kataoka.

Did you get the cash ready?

Yes. It's ready.

And, you're going to give Jun back to us, aren't you?

Bring that money to the clock tower of the Ogane Park at 12pm!

12pm to the clock tower of Ogane Park. I'll be there!

Hold it! You're not the one who's bringing the money!

We want a woman called Sachiko Ezaki to bring it.

What? You want her to bring it?

We don't hassle with anybody acting funny.

We feel more secure if a woman brings it.

Don't be late.

Inspector Megure!

I'll go disguised as Ms. Ezaki.

No! Let me...

Ms. Ezaki?

I'll go!

Sachiko?

The kidnapper demanded me to go.

I'm sure he knows how I look.

But, if the worst should happen...

Please!

Nothing... nothing can be greater than Jun's life!

Let me go! Inspector!

Inspector!

Inspector Megure.

All right. Will you do it for us?

Yes.

Inspector!

I know!

Ms. Ezaki, we will be 500m behind you

so that the kidnapper doesn't realize we're there.

I'll put this tracking device in your bag,

so we'll be able to locate the kidnapper right away.

And, if you need to get in touch with us for anything,

please use this to contact us.

Sachiko, please don't do anything reckless.

I promise I'll bring Jun back with me.

Sachiko.

Go on!

This is your grave! No use calling for help.

I've got to get out of here fast.

Understand? When the kidnapper comes in contact with Ms. Ezaki,

if he has Jun with him, nab him on the spot.

If Jun is nowhere in sight,

let the kidnapper go and get a hold of the whereabouts of Jun.

After confirming whether he is okay or not, then nab the kidnapper!

This is Sato at Ogane Park!

All the investigators are in position!

Good! Be very careful.

Takagi, come closer to me!

No, I'm just fine.

Don't be silly.

If you don't, we won't look like lovers!

Oh, okay.

Come on, at least put your arm around me or something.

Here goes, then.

Like this?

Gosh! Get with it, will you?

Inspector! Ms. Ezaki's car has arrived.

Inspector!

A suspicious car is in view approaching Ms. Ezaki's car from behind.

It's a compact truck with the words Honeybee Courier written on it.

Would a kidnapper come in a flashy car like that?

It stopped beside Ms. Ezaki.

Is Jun anywhere in sight?

No. I can't really confirm whether or not.

Jun? Isn't Jun with you?

One of my friends is watching the kid.

I'll give him back to you as soon as I return with this ransom.

Tell the police that if I'm late getting back, the kid's dead.

The kidnapper grabbed the bag from Ms. Ezaki

and has fled by truck!

The number plate on the truck is Shinjuku, two letters 44.

"Mi" for Mikasa 328.

On its orange colored bed, there is a large honeybee mark.

What shall we do, Inspector?

Don't get to close!

Chiba, get the officers in emergency position on the double.

-Yes, sir! -Sato, Takagi, go after him by chopper!

Roger!

A child's life is at stake, so be extremely careful.

Don't let him get away, no matter what.

Jun, isn't it about time we get going?

It's only a little after 11pm yet, though.

See?

Then, you can still play a lot more!

Next, why don't we challenge the game over there?

Okay!

Genta, are you good at that game?

Nope.

Something... if I can only find something...

Inspector! The truck's headed for Kenbashi Tunnel!

What's the length of the tunnel?

About 1km, so at this speed...

it'll go through it in about a minute!

Inspector! The truck will soon be entering the tunnel!

Go on ahead and wait at the exit of the tunnel!

Roger!

It stopped.

It stopped in the center of the tunnel!

It won't budge with the strength of a child.

Darn it!

Maybe the kidnapper abandoned the truck.

Do you see anybody suspicious?

No, only other cars are coming out of the tunnel.

No humans, not even a cat for that matter.

Why? Why isn't it moving?

Inspector, 10 minutes have gone by.

Okay, let's go inside the tunnel!

Yes, sir!

Darn! I've got to do something quick.

It was abandoned on the side of the road in the center of the tunnel.

Which means...

The kidnapper threw away the communicator

and got away with the cash.

But the Honeybee courier truck didn't come out of the tunnel.

Are you sure about it?

Yes. The pilot of the chopper as well as I was watching carefully

but the Honeybee courier truck didn't come out of the tunnel.

Maybe he made a U-turn inside the tunnel?

But if so, he would be driving

in the opposite direction on the freeway and cause a commotion!

Then, are you saying that the kidnapper's car

disappeared in the tunnel?

Another thing I don't understand is

how the kidnapper found out about this communicator.

Officer Sato, I have something I want you to check for me.

Yes, sir.

Next Conan's Hint:

"PET bottle"

-In the next episode... -It's finally the time for our appearance!

Let's go, Takagi!

It's not that way! This way, Inspector!
