Today's stage is also at the breakwater.

The place was in such clear view and conspicuous.

The trick and the culprit, we'all catch them both!

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, Ejiri?

Get a hold of yourself! Snap out of it!

His lips are turning purple,

cyanosis is starting.

This is proof that he cannot breathe as he should.

Still I can feel his pulse by touch,

and his heart is beating quite okay,

which means possible brain damage

or neurotoxic poisoning!

Artificial respiration!

We've got to take this man on the ship

and head him off to the hospital!

Hang in there, okay, Ejiri?

Hurry!

Dear!

Don't move!

It's extremely likely that he was poisoned!

And the one who poisoned him

is possibly someone who is here at the breakwater!

Until the police get here,

don't touch anything and stay still!

What's up?

Who are you, sonny?

Conan Edogawa.

A detective.

"Tragedy of the Conspicuous Pier (Part 2)"

First,

let's start with hearing about how you are all connected with each other.

"Kiriko Shirane (38), Mineto Kanetani (39)" -All of us

belonged to the same fishing club since our university days.

Including Ejiri, who was carried off a while ago too.

Do you come to fish at this breakwater frequently?

Yeah.

"Iwao Ida (39)" -On board the ship of the fisherman Ida.

Which means all of you know each other quite well from some time back.

Yes, especially Ida and I

because our parents who are fishermen also know each other well.

We've known each other since we were kids.

I see! You were saying that you're the daughter of a fisherman.

Yeah, she's really knowledgeable about fish

and was really popular with men in the club too.

Moreover, she's a good cook and a beauty.

She was the Madonna of the fishing club.

Please cut it out, Kanetani.

Let's not talk about something so long in the past.

Is that why someone attempted to kill Mr. Ejiri?

Because Ms. Shirane was taken away by Mr. Ejiri.

What are you talking about?

Just a while ago,

when Ms. Shirane was about to run over to him,

she called him "dear".

Unless they have an intimate relationship,

she wouldn't be calling him that way, would she?

Then, the perp is the one

who had to go through a broken heart and held a grudge against him.

Mr. Kanetani! You did it, didn't you?

Don't be ridiculous!

Besides if that was my motive,

the fisherman Ida would also come up as a suspect.

What? Mr. Ida?

Because Ida was Shirane's fiance.

Fiance?

Besides, that's not possible.

Why not?

Because Ejiri and I got a divorce three years ago.

Huh? Why?

Well, a lot of things were involved.

But the fact that we both like fishing hasn't changed.

So on holidays or on our day off,

we invite Kanetani and come fishing together.

And? You always made everyone's lunch?

See, this lunch that Ejiri ate.

The size of the lunch box and the handkerchief it's wrapped in

is the same as the one Mr. Kanetani got from Ms. Shirane.

It's true that it looks just like Mr. Kanetani's lunch.

Don't tell me that the lunch was poisoned.

No way! I would never do something like that!

Besides, as far as that lunch is concerned,

I got it from Shirane on our way to the breakwater

and I gave it directly to Ejiri.

The lunch boxes are exactly alike and nobody knows who'll get it.

How can poison be put in something like that?

That's true.

The pole stand is in the water?

This is one of the two that Mr. Ejiri had erected.

The other pole stand is still standing okay, and yet why?

This case sure is hard to grasp.

Maybe the poison was smeared on the hook and swung around?

I see, the way they do in lure fishing.

That can't be.

Besides, it would be to difficult to pinpoint the part

where the skin is exposed in one fling.

If it works, it's just mere chance!

And if the poisoned hook is soaked in water for some time,

the poison would drift off.

So, the lunch was poisoned after all.

No, it's very unlikely.

If poison were to be in something that was chewed on,

I would've been poisoned too because I performed artificial respiration.

I see!

Which means that you knew he wasn't poisoned from the mouth.

No. I can't figure out where the poison was inserted.

And all I knew back then was that I had to perform artificial respiration

or he would've died there.

Hey, you!

Can't this ship go any faster?

Please stop rushing, officer.

What's this smell?

Hey, isn't smoke coming out?

Well, you're the one who keeps telling me to go faster!

The police sure are late.

They sure are. Well, I guess everything'll be okay!

The culprit is one of the two anyway!

As long as we keep are eyes on them.

Right, the fisherman wasn't here with us all this time so.

You can't be too sure.

If he made Mr. Ejiri drink some sleeping drug

with delayed effect beforehand.

When he came to pick us up,

he could've gone up to Mr. Ejiri to check out what was wrong

and poke him with a poison needle then.

Hey, wait!

You mean you let a possible killer and Dr. Agasa go together?

Yeah. There was no other way to save Mr. Ejiri's life.

I did give Dr. Agasa the tranquilizer gun though,

just in case something comes up.

Besides, if anything happens, Dr. Agasa 's going to call...

The phone?

Hello, Dr. Agasa?

-Hello... -Oh, Shinichi!

I just got Mr. Ejiri on the ambulance now!

And, how is he?

It's hard to say yet.

The type of poison hasn't been specified either.

Maybe if a doctor were to examine his left wrist

the type of poison may be specified.

Left wrist?

Right!

Although it was hidden with his sleeve,

there were traces of scratches there.

I'm sure that's how he was poisoned.

Incidentally, there was something that looked like glue on the sleeve!

Glue? You mean the plastic type?

Yeah. That stuff is not used for fishing, so isn't it odd?

Well, I'll give you the details when I get there.

Later, then.

Hey, Dr. Agasa.

Glue.

What did Dr. Agasa say?

He said he got Mr. Ejiri on an ambulance

so he's coming back here!

-That's great! -I guess everything's okay for now.

I wonder who the culprit is though?

He taught me how to put bait on my hook.

And, the lady, see!

She picked this bobber that got drifted away up for me.

She said she saw it floating in the water

so she picked it up with a net.

The fisherman seems to have taken Mr. Ejiri

to where the ambulance came to pick him up too.

At first, he seemed to be looking down on us because we're kids, but...

You mean when he told you not to make too much noise?

Yes. We may be kids,

but we won't dance or carrying around portable shrines

in a place like this!

Right?

Dancing and carrying portable shrines?

Hey. Tell me exactly what the fisherman said.

Let me think...

He said, don't make too much noise

and start an "Omatsuri" (Omatsuri means festival) with your friends!

I told him we won't start an "Omatsuri",

then he said, go ask the other people.

No. "Omatsuri" is fishing terminology...

Bobber, glue and "omatsuri".

I see. So, that's it!

Conan?

Don't tell me you've figured out who the culprit is!

Yeah. I figured out

who was trying to fish Mr. Ejiri's life with a poison hook

as well as the way it was done!

Sea bream! This is sea bream for sure!

Okay, all of you, enough for the detective thing already, right?

No!

You're saying that so that you can hide the evidence, right?

Listen. It's true that Ejiri didn't look all that great.

But we're not even sure if he was really poisoned or not yet, you know?

In the first place,

Ida, who took Ejiri to where the ambulance,

is a suspect too, right?

If he's the one,

then the evidence would've been disposed in the sea long time ago.

I guess so, but...

That's no problem

because Dr. Agasa who went with him, is keeping an eye on him.

Moreover, the possibility of Mr. Ida being the culprit

has drastically decreased.

Now that we know he safely took Mr. Ejiri to the ambulance

and is heading back this way with Dr. Agasa again.

Is that right, Conan?

Remember what I said?

If Mr. Ida were the culprit,

he would've had to run over to Mr. Ejiri that he put to sleep beforehand

and poke a poison needle into him.

The poison that was used is probably neurotoxic poison.

He would have difficulty breathing but he would be conscious.

If someone poked a poison needle into him, he would know who it was.

The culprit would never rush such a person to the hospital, right?

Even if he would've done so, not to be suspected,

he would've fled off somewhere already.

Because when the poison wears off and Mr. Ejiri is able to talk,

the culprit would be revealed.

I see.

So that means the culprit has to be either Ms. Shirane or Mr. Kanetani.

Hey, how long is it going to take you to make repairs?

Please don't rush me like that, officer!

Darn it. We still have no idea what kind of case it is, and yet...

Are you saying either one of us is the one who poisoned Ejiri?

Don't be ridiculous.

It's true that we were fishing on both side of Ejiri,

but he was fishing on the tip of the tetra pod,

so he more than 10 m away from us.

How could we have poisoned him?

"Omatsuri".

"Omatsuri"?

"Omatsuri" is a fishing terminology

that is used when two lines get tangled with each other.

You know what to do when that happens, right?

I see! The culprit took advantage of him wanting to untangle his line,

in which he would bring his fish hook near his hand!

So, the comment of the fisherman...

Don't make too much noise

and start an "Omatsuri" (festival) with your friends.

was not an insulting remark at all.

Right. The culprit deliberately

got the fishing line tangled with Mr. Ejiri's.

And, when Mr. Ejiri tried to untangle the line,

it's slightly pulled on

and the poisoned hook would sink into Mr. Ejiri's hand!

But, you did also say that

if the hook smeared with poison is soaked in the water for some time,

the poison would dissolve.

Yeah... If the poison was just smeared on to the hook,

then the poison would dissolve,

but it's a different story if glue is used.

-Glue? -Glue?

Yeah. If poison is mixed into the glue

and then smeared onto the hook and dried hard.

It would start to dissolve when soaked in salt water

and by the time it gets tangled with Mr. Ejiri's line.

It would be gooey and just right for use.

As proof of this,

Dr. Agasa just told me on the phone that

there was glue on the left sleeve of Mr. Ejiri's shirt.

He also mentioned that

there were traces of scratch marks on Mr. Ejiri's left wrist!

That's probably why Mr. Ejiri's pole stand was in the water too.

His pole stand?

Yeah. When the fishing line was pulled to sink the poison hook in,

the pole stand was pulled too and fell into the water as well.

But, can you really do something like

deliberately getting your own line tangled with somebody else's.

Of course you can!

You use a lot of hooks with poison smeared on them and use light sinkers.

Then you let it drift along to the flow of the current

and it gets tangled super easily.

If the poisoned hook is a fly hook,

when it is pulled up,

even if there were to be many hooks attached to it,

nothing strange would be thought of it!

I see.

And? Which of them did that?

I just said, didn't I?

That the line was tangled using the flow of the current, right?

Remember she picked up your bobber that drifted away, Ayumi?

Yes! She did.

In other words, if Ms. Shirane, who was on the right edge,

picked up your bobber,

the flow of the current was from left to right.

And if the culprit took advantage of the flow of the current.

Right, the one who was fishing between Mr. Ejiri and all of us.

Mr. Kanetani!

You're the one who did it, right?

Wait... Is that true, Kanetani?

No way. No need to take what kids say all that seriously.

Besides, what makes you think I'd do something like that

at a breakwater like this?

I mean there're only so many of us

and the possibility of becoming a suspect is so high.

No. The suspects were narrowed down merely because of coincidence.

Back then, if the fish didn't bite his line,

we won't go over thinking that it's strange that he showed no reaction.

If he was left as he is, time would just pass by,

the estimated time of death would've been expanded

and there would've been a lot more suspects.

And you're the very one who said that

you wanted to change fishing spots because no fish were biting.

I see.

So, Mr. Ejiri who said that he wanted to stick it out here till night,

would've been left behind alone.

And if everyone else moves to a new fishing spot,

it could've been made to look as if someone came along in a boat

and poisoned Mr. Ejiri who was fishing all by himself.

Yeah. Besides, there are many people here that would testify that

Mr. Kanetani never once went near Mr. Ejiri too.

But if the hook poked him, he would at least let out a cry.

So, you set the timing for when to hook it on, right?

That is, to the sound of the ship that came to pick us up.

Oh, Dr. Agasa!

I see!

He erased the sound of the scream of pain

when being poked with the sound of the of the ship!

Moreover, the direction the ship came

from was opposite the direction that everyone was fishing.

Everybody attention would be distracted from Mr. Ejiri,

so it would be like killing two birds with one stone.

But, sonny, you don't even have proof.

This pole of yours is the evidence.

The bobber is sunk

so it should still be there.

Mr. Ejiri's pole that got tangled with your terminal tackle!

The glue that was mixed with poison probably almost completely dissolved.

But, that would not dissolve so easily.

Mr. Ejiri's blood that is on the hook that scratched him.

Kanetani.

Kanetani, may I ask why you did it?

Why would you want to kill him?

We just went drinking the other day all three of us together, didn't we?

The reason is his remark when we went drinking.

When you left the seat,

I asked him why you both got a divorce.

What? A lover?

Yeah. I just started a new business back then

and I was going through a lot of stress.

She found out that I was having an affair and left me.

He said that?

Yeah. I had no intention of saying anything

about the fact that he got a divorce of had a lover,

but I just couldn't forget what he said after all that.

Well, I guess in the end, be it a company, fish or women,

the best part is when they are alive and kicking.

Don't tell her this, okay?

Yeah, it was like he had shattered the dream of my younger days.

I just couldn't take it in.

Because you were really our Madonna.

Don't be silly.

He divorced me for my sake.

What?

Back then, his company was on the verge of bankruptcy.

And he couldn't save his employees unless he started a new business.

But, in order to do so, he had to take on an enormous amount of debt.

He got on his hands and knees begging me to divorce him.

He begged me saying that if the new business fails,

I'd end up having to face the collectors too.

I wanted to overcome the situation as husband and wife.

But since his stubborn and not too strong taking on pressure.

And as for me, I wanted to continue my job as a cuisine essayist I agreed.

So, that thing about a lover is a story he made up to put on a front.

I don't like that comment

he made of women who are alive and kicking though.

No, there's no need to get angry.

Because he was referring to you,

when he said women who are alive and kicking.

While sailing on the swaying boat,

Mr. Ejiri kept repeating to himself over and over again.

A fish that is truly alive and kicking

is one that can freely swim through the ocean.

He asked me if I thought so too.

What an idiot.

Oh, my God. What on earth have I done?

Don't worry! He seems to have recovered quite a bit already.

I got a call from Ejiri, who sounded okay.

He asked me to relay a message to you.

He said for you to get super fresh fish for her today.

If you do, he says he'll forget what happened today.

He said he would tell the hospital and police that

he was poisoned by a pufferfish that he cooked and ate on his own,

so to not come back until you get big catch.

Is today a special day or something?

Oh, my? Come to think of it, today is our wedding anniversary.

Your anniversary? If I'm not mistaken today is...

Don't tell me you forgot?

Happy Birthday, Dr. Agasa!

Kojima, which means that you were trying to...

Yeah, fish something for Dr. Agasa's birthday present!

No, Genta! Don't say a word about it!

We've been keeping it a secret from Ai too

so that we could throw a surprise party.

Oh, sorry...

I see. That's why these children

were planning to have a curry party at my house tonight.

Thank you all so much.

Don't cry.

I was trying to fish you a sea bream

but ended up fishing some odd black fish.

Hey. Isn't this is black sea bream?

Black sea bream?

The King of breakwater fishing, black sea bream!

It's an expensive fish!

Incredible!

-It's too much for Dr. Agasa, then. -I'd love to eat it.

So now it's your turn, Kanetani!

Get me a big one that is just as good as the one he fished, okay?

Because I've got to show him that.

That even if fish are caught, good fish is good.

Well, although there were an array of odd occurrences,

wasn't coming to the ocean a good idea?

Yes.

Now I understand how fish feel.

Just what do you mean by that?

The body temperature of humans is too warm for the fish.

Right, it's too warm for me too

that I feel as if I'm going to get burned.

Hey, hey, it's still not repaired?

Next Conan's Hint:

"Chocolate cake"

The next episode is an one hour special that takes place in Osaka.

You've sure got a lot of things happening around you, Kudo.
