Friendship, love and mystery.

We stick it out because we believe promises will be kept.

Starting the year off is the Youth Detective Squad.

Genta's rear end is more important than the monkey's rear end.

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

Hey! Is it for real

that you and Haibara were almost kidnapped?

Yes. But we somehow made it through safely.

The kidnapper got away though.

I'm really glad for you both!

Since you both recovered from your cold

and got to come to school!

We were really worried about you!

Thank you.

I'm perfectly fine now.

We actually wanted to go see you but...

Conan insisted that we shouldn't go see you

because we'd catch your cold. Right?

Yes!

Oh. Is that so?

We even decided on what time to go see you and yet...

Exactly!

Now that I'm relieved, I'm starved.

Not again!

Hey.

Are sure it's really safe?

For me to go outside.

Yeah, pretty much.

For now.

What do you mean "pretty much"?

I removed all the wiretap that was set up

in Dr. Agasa's house.

In fact, I went browsing around here alone last night.

Disguised as you.

I asked mom to help me disguise as you once more!

Shinichi. You look just great!

What do you think?

You think so.

Doing something dangerous like that on your own again.

There was nobody watching me

or anybody suspicious following me.

Well, I wouldn't say that it's completely safe,

but I'm not the type who can stayed locked up

just because I'm scared.

I decided to believe her words for now.

I lost.

I'll give up going after Sherry.

Her words?

Besides, you pretty much recovered too, haven't you?

Isn't it because pressure from those guys disappeared?

"Look for the Mark on the Buttocks (Part 1)"

What? An FBI agent?

Sonoko!

Really?

Sonoko.

But! You mean Jodie is?

-No kidding? -Sonoko!

This is a hospital! Be quiet!

I'm sorry.

Don't worry about it.

Why'd you think of working as an English teacher in Japan?

Don't tell me that you're an undercover agent investigating something?

Sonoko...

No. No!

Oh. That's not it.

There was a culprit I was after for a long time,

but I carelessly lost track of that person.

So, I was given time off from work for a while,

that's why I came to Japan!

I really love Japanese games!

-Games? -Games?

I became an English teacher,

because I always wanted to be one for a long time!

But, my time off has come to an end!

As soon as the wound on my stomach heals,

I have to head back to America!

Then, the treasure map

you said you'd been looking for all this time is...

I got a call from my boss telling me to come home

because they got a clue to the culprit

that I've been looking for!

He said he's going to give me a chance

to make things right again!

I see.

I wanted to say goodbye to cool kid before leaving too

so I went to Dr. Agasa's house.

That's when I saw cool kid and Ai

being pushed into the car and taken away

by some suspicious looking people,

so I went after them with my car!

And I cornered them by a pier.

They suddenly fired a gun at me.

So, I did likewise!

Of course, the gun was what I had taken

from the suspicious people!

But, I was definitely lucky!

That Mouri was hiding in the trunk of the car.

And that she protected Ai.

Because back then, I was shot in the stomach

and couldn't move.

Moreover, the kidnappers were planning

to give up kidnapping and kill the children!

Really?

Yes.

I found the pictures of Conan and Shinichi hidden and pasted

behind the mirror in the restroom of Jodie's condominium.

So I went to Jodie's place to ask her about them.

But, she wasn't home so I was ready to leave

when I saw her car in front of her condominium.

The trunk of the car was open so I took the liberty of...

So, you took the liberty of... I mean you know.

But I'm sure glad

that you weren't a bad person after all, Jodie!

I mean, I thought that you were involved in some way

with the case that Shinichi is involved in.

And that you were being threatened by the culprit

to take pictures of Shinichi

to find out what his weaknesses were.

I had every mind to confront the culprit directly

and beat him up.

Hey, Ran! Are you serious?

I mean the things you think of are so unreal!

Oh! Those pictures that are pasted there

are people that I've befriended in Japan!

What?

I actually had them pasted on the living room board,

but when one of my Japanese friends came over,

she had a queer look on her face

so I decided to move the pictures over to where they are now!

I see!

Americans often have pictures of their families

all over the desk at their work place too.

It's not too customary to do something like that in Japan

so I guess it's only natural that it would be thought of as odd.

Come to think of it, even when I went to watch an opera in New York.

The actresses had a lot of pictures pasted all over the mirror

of their dressing room.

You mean the time when you and Shinichi

were attacked by the serial killer!

Take care.

Because I've heard that they appear in this area recently too!

-We will. -We will.

Somebody's here.

I guess we'd better be going then.

I hope you get well soon, Jodie!

Thank you so much, both of you!

-Please excuse us. -Please excuse us.

How are you doing?

All right, somehow...

the shot fortunately missed my vital point.

By the way, were the Japanese police

convinced with the explanation we gave them?

Yeah.

After hearing the siren of the police car,

one of the kidnappers took the boy hostage and fled.

Then he disappeared leaving the car and the boy behind in the forest.

The other one whose leg was fractured

committed suicide with the gun he had on him.

Unfortunately,

since it was the dark, neither you nor the children

could see the face of the kidnapper who fled.

Of course I made both children say the same thing.

I didn't want to create a sensation by publicizing that

the kidnapper was actress Chris Vineyard after we failed to arrest her

on top of not knowing what the actual motive of the kidnapping was.

We also felt bad about making you work undercover here

without acquiring permission from the Japanese police, so...

The problem is that girl who was called Sherry by that woman.

I wonder if she'll accept

our request?

Well, it seems like the FBI is in on this too

so I'm sure they can't make any moves that easily either!

Come to think of it,

Dr. Agasa said that you got a phone call from Jodie

this morning.

What did she want?

Was it to verify whether we didn't contradict each other?

Well, I guess so.

I'll be frank with you.

We would like you to accept the witness protection program.

Back then, Chris Vineyard.

Yes. The lady called Vermouth,

tried to kill you to keep you from talking.

In other words, it's obvious that

you have information that she finds very inconvenient.

About the witness protection program,

I think you already know it from movies and novels.

It will change everything from your name, background and address

to a totally different identity

in order to protect you

from the people who are after your life.

You will be guaranteed sufficient income

and other miscellaneous things from the country for life

and I will see to it that you get to live a happy life.

Of course whether you want to accept this or not is up to you.

However, once you accept it,

you will not be able to see or call your family and friends.

If you're afraid of that woman coming after you in revenge,

if you don't want to get your friends involved,

I'll be waiting for you to give me a good answer.

What's up Haibara?

Maybe because of her cold.

No, that's not it.

It's been a while since I came outside,

so I'm just a bit tired.

Then, bye. Because I'm going this way.

See you tomorrow!

I'll see you at school!

Okay!

"I feel great."

"Splashing in the rain."

It hurts...

Serial Killer!

Somebody, get him!

It's Ayumi's voice.

-What's up? -Ayumi!

Ayumi?

I see.

So, you don't remember that person's face.

Yes.

It was raining and he was wearing my raincoat and hat.

Besides, I was so scared I couldn't look at the person's face!

Even the lady victim who got her armed slashed

didn't see the culprit's face.

Judging from the way things look,

the culprit is probably the same as the one

who committed the other three previous cases.

But, the outfit is different.

I heard the person shout.

I'm sure it was a man!

But, you can't really tell just from a shouting voice.

Either way,

let's go to the scene of the crime and do an inspection!

Maybe you'll remember something.

Okay!

I bumped into the serial killer over here.

We heard Ayumi scream

so we came running over!

Which means that the culprit ran away

because you and the others came?

No!

He ran away before that!

Really?

Before he ran away, he came towards me once,

so I was surprised but...

He came towards you?

Yep!

I heard a clinking sound afterwards

so I'm sure he picked something up!

Maybe he dropped loose change or something?

Maybe it was his glasses or house key.

It could've been a necklace or bracelet.

Do you know what the culprit picked up?

No.

I think it has something to do with the number 5!

The number 5?

Because there's a mark that looks like the number 5

on the palm of my hand!

I looked around the area after that

but I saw nothing on the ground.

Can you draw a picture of the mark for me?

Yes, I can.

It looked like this.

It doesn't look like a 50 yen coin or a 500 yen coin either.

It kind of looks like the letter S of the alphabet too.

Well, I'll try go look for traces of this mark.

It could be a mark left behind by some coin

from a slot machine game center or something.

There he is!

-What? -Why you!

Excuse us!

Don't let him get away!

Darn it! It's so hard to get through with so many onlookers.

There he is! The man in the raincoat!

There's the serial killer.

Wait! That's...

Why you...

It's Officer Takagi.

Geez! She's right, it's Officer Takagi.

It hurts...

What a thing to do.

Hey, Officer Takagi.

Didn't a man wearing a raincoat come running this way?

There are so many of them here.

Because it just stopped raining.

But, how bold.

To come back wearing a raincoat to the site of the crime,

knowing that the police are conducting investigations.

Yeah.

The culprit probably thinks that no one would expect him

to come back in the same clothes.

Don't tell me that he came back to take revenge thinking

that Ayumi had seen his face?

No way.

He probably came back because he was positive

that she didn't see his face!

For what?

Beats me.

He may have forgotten something at the site

that he shouldn't have left behind.

Or, maybe he came back to confirm something.

Darn it. I'm all wet.

At any rate, we'll have to figure out

what this mark that Ayumi drew is.

Hey!

Genta?

Your buttocks, Genta.

What? Is it ripped or something?

That's not it!

The mark that the serial killer left behind is there!

What? No kidding?

That means he must've come in contact with the culprit somewhere.

Genta, please try and remember!

Where were you?

Please answer, Genta!

Where did you get that mark on?

The mark of the serial killer that is on your buttocks!

I wonder if this is really a mark left behind by the serial killer?

Yes!

It looks just like the mark on the thing that the culprit dropped!

I coincidentally pressed my hand against it,

when the culprit got flustered,

came back to get it and then fled.

After that, the same mark was left on the palm of my hand.

Which means that Kojima touched the culprit

or the culprit's belongings somewhere along the line.

It could've been when you went after the culprit

who was among the crowd

and wearing a raincoat, went fleeing!

But...

Although I did trip over the bag of somebody in the crowd,

staggered and bumped into a bicycle,

it wasn't the culprit!

Besides...

It's nothing.

Could it be that the mark that was on the bag and the bicycle

were the same as the mark on the culprit's belongings?

If so, it could've been a name brand item.

Let's go back to the site

and ask the people in the area!

Besides the owners of the bag and the bicycle

may still be there.

Officer Sato...

Yes.

Come on, Conan. Let's go!

Yeah.

It's strange.

-The mark that is on Genta's buttocks. -The mark...

looks familiar.

Oh! There!

I tripped over this man's bag!

But there's nothing that looks like that mark on the bag.

Besides, the bag isn't dirty at all

so I don't think this is the one.

Because the mark on Genta's buttocks

looked to be soiled with mud.

If he was soiled with mud,

maybe the bicycle is a better bet?

And, where is that bicycle?

There she is!

She's the lady!

It's true that it is soiled with mud but...

The mark doesn't seem to be there.

Where on earth did you get

that number 5 or the letter S looking mark on you?

It's neither a 5 nor a S.

The mark that is on the palm of Ayumi's hand

and Genta's buttocks

is a reverse and mirrored image of the actual shape.

In other words, the actual shape

is a shape that is the opposite of the number 5 or letter S.

Oh, I see!

And what about the size of the mark?

If that something left this big a mark on Ayumi's palm,

I think that she would have an idea of what it is.

No. Mine was much smaller!

It was here. About the size of a one yen coin!

Which means that the two were the same mark on separate things.

If it was that small,

it could've been an accessory of the same brand.

Mirrored image.

Accessory.

The mark on the sleeve.

Don't tell me that...

Officer Sato?

This! It's this mark!

The car...

Yes.

After I drove through a muddy road,

I didn't wash the car

so those traces were left behind.

Come to think of it, you were sitting on the hood of Officer Sato's car,

weren't you, Genta?

Yeah...

Why didn't you tell us right away?

Well, it crossed my mind to begin with

but I didn't say anything.

But I thought it can't be...

that Officer Sato was a serial killer!

I'm not!

The culprit probably has the same model car as I do!

Then, the mark that was on my palm...

Is the key to the car of this model!

The car's master key that has a cover

with the mark etched on it.

See!

No kidding!

As proof of it, look at the tip of Ayumi's sleeve!

See the zigzag vertical lines on it?

-Yes. -True.

That's probably because there was dirt on the tip of the key

and when it was pressed against her hand,

traces of it stuck on to the tip of her sleeve...

No, it's not dirt.

It's discolored and black, but this is...

Blood?

Maybe the reason why the culprit came back here is...

Yes.

Probably to check whether Ayumi saw this mark.

And after seeing our undercover police car,

the culprit probably figured out that

it would be a matter of time before everything is disclosed.

Then, we'd better hurry or the culprit will get away!

Officer Takagi, get a hold of Inspector Megure

and have him set up a cordon!

Check all the drivers that are driving cars with the same mark

that are trying to leave this area!

Yes!

Also check all the residents in this area

who own the same car model!

If the culprit is a person who will risk coming back to confirm

whether the model of his car had been specified,

it's likely that he has a parking space or storeroom nearby!

Okay!

But, what if there are many cars like it?

It'd be very hard looking for it.

No, I don't think there are that many.

The model of this car with this mark on the key

and body is pretty old and manufacturing of it

stopped about seven or eight years ago.

Besides, it was raining when the crime was committed.

If we were to search for a culprit whose car is wet in the rain,

with no alibi and who has lost his master key,

the criteria for the search would be drastically narrowed down.

Why doesn't the culprit have the master key?

He probably had it but dropped it.

A blood stain in the shape of a key

was left on the sleeve of Ayumi's outfit.

This serves as proof that the culprit grabbed the key with hands

soiled with the blood of the victim and fled!

This means that the culprit will not show the police the key,

which he knows will display haematological response!
