The rhythm of the wind sharpens the skill of deduction.

Alibis and tricks are unraveled.

The truck and ransom that disappeared.

The mysterious veil is peeled off by deduction.

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

We, the Youth Detective Squad

went to visit our classmate Jun Kataoka in the hospital.

But, I was mistaken as being Jun and kidnapped!

The police pursues the Honeybee courier truck

that appears to get the ransom!

However, that car suddenly disappeared

inside the tunnel of the expressway!

"The Kidnap Car That Disappeared (Part 2)"

"Supermarket Moriwaki"

Well, I couldn't help it

because the battery went dead and I didn't know.

Everybody's probably worried.

Too bad. We almost made it.

Strange. Conan's not answering.

I wonder if something's happened.

What? What do you mean something?

Having a child's body is not bad at a time like this.

Inspector!

We did exactly as the kidnapper told us to, didn't we?

"Shigeru Kataoka (40), young entrepreneur" -Jun...

Jun's going to be returned to us, isn't he?

We're doing the best we can.

"Sachiko Ezaki (30), fashion designer" -Sachiko?

What about the rehearsal?

What's up with your rehearsal?

I explained to the staff that I will be canceling the show.

No way! Your future depends on it!

Never mind us and go back there!

I'm so worried that I can't just do nothing!

I couldn't possibly do my thing even if I went back there.

And... how's Jun?

Nothing... yet.

I'm sorry.

We the police are doing all we can

to locate the Honeybee courier truck,

the whereabouts of the truck that fled.

Inspector Megure!

Did you get any new report?

We contacted the Honeybee courier company

and found that all the vehicles are doing their usual rounds,

and all of them are accounted for.

Could the Honeybee courier truck have been stolen?

No.

Are you saying that you have no clue as to the kidnapper?

Well, Inspector?

Oh, excuse me for a moment.

This is Megure.

Oh! Officer Takagi!

What?

Jun came back to the hospital!

Jun!

I'm so glad! Jun, you're okay.

We were really worried about you.

How's your leg?

"Jun Kataoka (7), Kataoka's son" -Nothing's wrong with my leg!

"Jun Kataoka (7), Kataoka's son" -Oh, that's good.

Officer Takagi! Just what is the meaning of this?

Well, the thing is

they came back to the hospital on their own.

What?

Were you with Jun all this time?

Yeah, but...

-Isn't it? -Yes...

Where were you all this time?

Where...

Jun, you tell them...

I asked them the same question too

but they won't tell me.

It seems that Jun wasn't kidnapped.

Kidnapped?

Since he disappeared from the hospital,

we were all worried that he was kidnapped.

What?

Well, the bed was empty.

And soon after that we got a call demanding ransom.

The bed was empty?

Don't tell me that...

-Yeah. -Huh?

What's the matter?

Big trouble!

Conan is the one who was kidnapped!

What?

Since Jun said he wanted to go play games,

Conan stayed back at the hospital in his place!

I called him on the Youth Detective badge several times

but he hasn't answered!

Maybe...

Maybe... what?

Conan!

Okay, all done.

Thank you!

You're welcome.

Okay.

Will you explain, Conan?

Yep. The kidnapper mistook me for Jun and kidnapped me.

Just as I thought.

And? Where were you after you were kidnapped?

There's this closed down factory in Okuho-cho,

and was in the basement.

Did you see the kidnapper's face?

Yep.

He had a mole on the side of his nose.

Officer Takagi. Call Tomokawa right away

and have him draw a composite sketch on the double!

Yes, sir!

I'm so glad everyone's okay.

Although the money was taken,

it's no big deal if the children are all right.

Jun, apologize to everyone.

Why?

What do you mean?

Because everyone worried about you.

You all worried of your own initiative!

What should I care?

Jun!

Jun. Wait!

What do you think you're doing? Let me go!

Ouch!

Darn! Let me go!

That's enough!

What a thing to say after you've done something selfish like this?

Ouch...

I'm sorry, Jun.

It hurt, didn't it? I'm sorry.

But, Conan got hurt because of you.

Still, that doesn't mean that it's okay for me to hit you, does it?

Inspector, I'm sorry.

I'm hungry.

-Conan. -I guess we'll get going then.

-See you. -Yeah.

I've got to stay back and help with the composite sketch.

Why?

The Honeybee courier truck that went into the tunnel.

Why didn't it come out of the exit?

It's the same compact truck after all!

I see, I get it.

Officer Takagi!

What's the matter?

I've figure out the mystery of the Honeybee courier truck

disappearing in the tunnel.

Huh? Really? Tell me about it, Officer Takagi!

Why did the kidnapper use such a flashy car

such as the Honeybee courier truck?

He probably did so to get our attention.

Yep, and then?

So, we the police were only concentrating on

looking out for this flashy Honeybee Courier.

However, the kidnapper paints the truck inside the tunnel

and changed the design of the truck.

That's this compact truck!

It didn't disappear, but rather, deceived us.

How long did that compact truck stay inside the tunnel?

About 10 minutes.

Then, wouldn't it be impossible?

It's not possible to paint an entire car in just 10 minutes.

Oh.

I thought it was a pretty good deduction, though.

Officer Takagi!

The body of a man who was strangled to death

was found by the riverbed of Teimusu River.

What?

The victim is around his 40's

and has a mole on the side of his nose.

According to Conan, the kidnapper also had...

Yep, a mole on the side of his nose!

Then, it could be the same person!

It's possible. Let's go!

Yes, sir!

Inspector Megure.

Wouldn't it be better if I go along too?

Because I saw the kidnapper's face.

Oh, but...

There's nothing to worry about my wound,

I'm just fine.

From the driver's license that the victim had on him,

he is Tadashi Yoshizawa, age 42.

He has strangulation marks on his neck,

so he probably died of suffocation.

I see.

And, this is what we found on the floor of the passenger's seat.

Huh? Earrings.

This car has been reported stolen 2 days ago.

I see.

Inspector Megure.

The person who kidnapped me is this man.

Just as I thought.

And, when is the estimated time of death?

We think it is between 13:00 to 14:00.

So, he was strangled to death

right after he made away with the cash.

And? What about the cash and all?

There was nothing of that sort anywhere.

Judging from the fact that the cash is gone,

it's most likely that he had an accomplice.

They probably got into a brawl which ended up in him being killed.

We need to do a thorough check this guy Yoshizawa's associates!

Inspector!

Oh, Officer Sato!

Inspector, I'm sorry I'm late!

Did you find out anything more?

Yes.

While checking the people who are in close proximity to Mr. Kataoka,

I came across something that may be of concern.

Something of concern?

Right.

Well...

Although it doesn't have the honeybee mark on it,

this is the truck that was used to kidnap me.

Officer Takagi's deduction

was partially correct after all!

But, how in a matter of 10 minutes inside the tunnel...

Yes, this is my earring.

I dropped it somewhere and I was looking for it.

Where did you find this?

Before I answer your question, I'd like to ask you something.

Do you know a person by the name of Yoshizawa?

Yoshizawa?

He's man with a mole on the side of his nose,

who is around 40 years old.

No, I don't.

What about him?

He found dead in a compact truck

that was found abandoned by the riverbed of the Teimusu River.

Oh, my!

That earring was found near the corpse.

Huh?

According to Conan,

it seems that there's no mistake that

Yoshizawa is responsible for the kidnapping.

Judging from the fact that

the ransom was not found anywhere near him,

it is most likely that he had an accomplice,

who he had a fight with, and as result was killed.

I see.

And, who is this accomplice?

After checking Yoshizawa's residence,

they seem to have found the date of

Jun's discharge from the hospital tomorrow

marked on the calendar.

In other words, Yoshizawa and the accomplice carried out the crime

knowing that he would still be in the hospital.

And Yoshizawa did not call Mr. Kataoka's residence but rather,

called him directly on his cell phone.

And finally,

the tracking device that we put inside the bag with the ransom.

The people who knew about this besides us were very limited.

What are you trying to get at?

So, Yoshizawa's accomplice

has to be somebody who is very close to you!

By the way, Ms. Ezaki,

we hear that you have debts?

Huh?

For the last two shows you had, you needed 20,000,000 yen,

and for preparation fees for this show, you needed 10,000,000 yen.

That makes a total of 30,000,000 yen,

the same amount as the ransom demanded this time.

That's...

How do you intend to pay back your debts?

So if this show that is to be held succeeds...

If it doesn't succeed,

all you'll be left with are the debts.

Please wait!

Are you saying that she kidnapped Jun because of her debts?

I can't really say yet.

But it's true that the circumstances look pretty bad for Ms. Ezaki.

I haven't done anything!

I don't know a person by the name of Yoshizawa either.

Anyway, we'll get the details from you at the station.

Will you please come with us?

All right.

Just as I thought.

She was after the money after all.

Jun.

Huh? Ms. Ezaki?

Yeah, she came.

About what time? Do you remember?

I think it was before 13:00.

She came to say that the show today may be cancelled.

13.00.

Yoshizawa's estimated time of death is between 13:00 and 14:00.

So alibi barely makes it...

I really don't want her to cancel it

because her designs are fantastic this time.

I'm sure it'll be a success!

Separating trash and throwing them away appropriately

is manners, right?

Maybe...

You're right.

It's special so there aren't many companies that make it.

Do you know the name of the company?

Yeah, of course.

That's right.

Until I get my part from you guys,

I can't die even if I wanted to.

Bring the cash and come to the place where the kid was confined!

I'll be waiting.

Wait, Officer Sato, I don't think that's a good idea!

We can't afford to be going out at a busy time like this

just because Conan is telling us to come.

Don't worry, I'll take full responsibility!

Even so...

Besides, no matter how I think it out,

I can't believe that Ms. Ezaki is a culprit.

I feel the same too.

Well, Conan sure notices a lot of things other people don't,

so he could help us find a lead to something, right?

Oh.

You said you remembered something, what is it, Conan?

This is the factory where you were confined, right, Conan?

There he is!

Huh? What?

Hide!

Huh? That car.

Mr. Kitayama.

"Goro Kitayama (48), Kataoka's driver" -Yoshizawa?

Hey, Yoshizawa?

Hey, Yoshizawa, it's me!

Mr. Kitayama.

What an unusual place to run into you.

What brings you here?

What?

Nothing really...

You seem to know Tadashi Yoshizawa.

You came because Mr. Yoshizawa told you to come, right?

You were told to bring his share of the money

to the place the kid was confined, right?

But, Conan...

This place is known only to me and the kidnapper.

But he knows this place too, which means...

aren't you an accomplice of the kidnapper, mister?

What a thing to say?

I see.

You would know Mr. Kataoka's cell phone number

and about the tracking device too.

Hey, wait a minute!

You used to work for a printing company before, didn't you?

Conan, what are you trying to get at?

The advertisements that we see on the body of vehicles these days,

those are all printed adhesive seals, right?

Are you talking about the wrapping bus?

Wrapping bus?

I see! I got it!

Huh? What?

I've figured out the mystery of

how the compact Honeybee courier truck disappeared in the tunnel!

Yoshizawa wrapped the truck that he stole,

then he went to get the ransom.

While he fled on the truck, he peeled off the wrapping in the tunnel,

pretended to be a different truck and got away.

Mr. Kitayama, aren't you the one who printed that seal?

Well?

This is ridiculous!

Everything you're saying is based on assumption!

Huh?

What's this...

Bag...

Look, Officer Takagi.

There's so much money inside!

Mr. Kitayama, we'd like to talk to you,

so could you come with us to the station?

Darn!

Officer Sato!

No way!

Officer Takagi!

Move!

Hold it!

You're not getting away!

Goro Kitayama, you're under arrest

for obstructing official duty and inflicting injury!

Ouch...

You killed Tadashi Yoshizawa

and put Ms. Ezaki's earring near his corpse

to confuse investigation, didn't you?

Isn't Yoshizawa alive?

What are you talking about?

He was found dead!

Who called me on the phone then?

What the heck are you talking about?

Wow. How fantastic.

Ayumi, is this all there is to a fashion show?

They serving us food and stuff part way, aren't they?

Gee, I tell you, Genta, of course not!

Didn't I tell you that it'd be boring for kids?

Let me introduce you!

The designer of this collection,

Sachiko Ezaki!

Jun.

Thank you, Jun.

The tuxedo looks really nice on you.

Dad told me to give you this bouquet.

I see...

Congratulations...

Mom.

Let's say it spiritedly. Next Conan's Hint:

"Number 9"

In the next episode, that guy from Osaka will make his appearance.

Detective from the west, Heiji Hattori.

-Who are you again? -I'm sorry.
