Today's case is about poisonous spiders!

Vertical strings and horizontal strings. The locked room trick.

Open a hole in the tangled mystery!

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

Come on, Mitsuhiko, Ayumi!

Hurry up!

Let's play soccer.

Let's do so after we go to the library.

New books have come in yesterday.

Shoots, I came because you said we were going to play soccer.

Hey, say something, Conan.

I kind of feel like reading too.

What? You're the one who said you wanted to play soccer.

You traitor!

Really, talk about childish.

Hey, just what do you think you're doing?

You're going, aren't you, detective?

"Deadly Venom Spider Trap"

Why don't you try calling the professor?

My hands are full right now.

Why don't you call?

I will then.

Oh, it's okay, I'll call.

It's the signal of lunch break for a nearby factory.

He's not answering.

Will you call him later?

Okay.

A red-back spider.

-What? -Look out!

Genta, don't push me.

We're not going to...

Just what are you doing?

It's because you guys left on your own.

It's no fair.

Ayumi too?

Hey! Just what are you guys doing?

What? Mitsuhiko?

What?

Do you know him?

Yes, he's Mr. Itogawa who lives next door to me.

"Tooru Itogawa (32)" -He's a professor who's researching spiders

at the university.

That's a red-back spider, isn't it?

"Yoshiki Urazaki (38)" -Yeah, that's right.

It's amazing that you know, kid.

Some years ago, it was discovered in Japan

and was big news.

You see how its back is red?

That's why it's called the "Seakagoke" spider.

It's also called the red-back spider.

It's a poisonous spider

that lives mainly in Australia and Central America.

You mean a venomous spider is in Beika-cho?

"Miwa Yasuda (28)" -No, we're borrowing this yard to take pictures.

I'm a reporter.

We're making this magazine.

We're doing a venomous spider special in our next week edition.

See.

Then, that spider is...

He's my pet.

Pet?

Although I may not look it,

I'm quite well-known as a "venomous spider freak".

I have a variety of venomous spider pets.

We're leaving to interview the professor,

so call him, will you?

Yes, ma'am...

Hello, Professor, this is Urazaki.

What's the matter, professor?

It bit me! The black widow spider bit me!

What?

Please inject yourself with the serum! Professor!

The serum...

"Beika Agriculture University West Entrance"

"Shinno Laboratory"

Darn it! It won't open!

Here's the spare key.

Professor!

All of you stay here.

Okay.

Oh, no. He's dead.

The professor passed away.

Why?

Look, there is no sign that he injected the serum.

No way.

Mr. Urazaki,

hurry call the police.

Hey! Just what do you think you're doing, Miwa?

Look!

It's a venomous spider, the one that bit the professor.

I'm telling you, stop it!

It's already dead.

That spider has nerve venom

that is several times stronger than that of the red-back spider.

But not strong enough for a human to die instantly.

Don't touch it!

We have to leave it that way until the police get here.

Hey.

Let me borrow it a while.

Hello, is this the police?

Yes...

Which means he was bitten here?

It's gone.

The serum for the Black Widow Spider is gone.

What?

It's always left over here and yet...

Hey, take a look.

It seems to have escaped from here.

He never ever forgot to close the lid before.

We're only human, so there are times we forget.

This is...

Understand? Don't come in during investigation.

What's with him?

We're witnesses to the case too.

If you chase us away, the case won't be solved.

The ones who have the key to this room are Professor Shinno

and Mr. Itogawa, his assistant?

Yes, sir.

Mr. Urazaki, you were acquainted with the professor.

Were the door and windows always locked?

Yes, sir. It's because a variety of venomous spiders are being bred.

To think that he forgot to

close the lid of the breeding box of venomous spiders...

Are you bothered?

Oh, then go ahead and think like that forever.

I saw something.

What did you see?

There's a scratch on the professor's ear

as if he brought the receiver to his ear without realizing that

the spider was there and was bitten.

But it seems to be rare that

someone who is bitten by this spider dies on the spot.

Conan, I just told you not to come inside!

Oh, just for a while.

Isn't this medicine for the heart?

Did the professor have a heart problem?

Yes.

Really? I didn't know.

If so, it was an accident after all?

You're the one who called the professor, Mr. Urazaki?

Yeah, but Miwa called him before I did.

Nobody answered the phone at that time, right?

Right.

Conan! Be careful with that.

That's right, I have to call Pops.

"Urazaki Cell Phone" -Mr. Urazaki's call is here.

If you need to make a call, I'll lend you my cell phone.

It's okay. I already got through.

Hello, Pops?

It's the same model as the one back then.

So, I'm going to be a little late. Why?

This is not an accident!

What's the matter, Mr. Itogawa?

I have to attend a academic conference tomorrow.

I'm going to have to deliver the speech in place of the professor.

What? How can you talk about a conference at a time like this?

But, it's an important academic conference that was scheduled long before.

So if I have the documents, I can deliver the speech.

The truth is...

it's your research isn't it, Mr. Itogawa?

What? Is that true?

The professor was delivering speeches

on the results of Mr. Itogawa's research all this time

as if it were his own.

So he snatched away the works of his assistant.

It's the usual stuff that goes around.

Which means that you had a grudge against the professor, Mr. Itogawa!

Speak for yourself, Mr. Urazaki

What? Why you...

Come on, Mr. Urazaki.

So, do you have something against him too?

No, I don't.

If you've got something, will you show it to us?

No, it's nothing.

It's nothing, I tell you!

Then, please show it to us, Mr. Urazaki

Darn!

Those are all rare spiders

that aren't found in Japan.

Just what does this mean?

Mr. Urazaki was buying the spiders from the professor.

Spiders?

Yes.

Saying that it would be used for research,

the professor was able to get a hold of rare and valuable spiders

from all over the world.

And he's sly too.

He picks on our weaknesses and raises the price.

Moreover, you had a grudge against the professor.

Absurd, this is an accident.

He was punished for playing around with my passion for spiders.

Pops says he's figured out who the killer is!

Conan? You're still here!

He says that this is not an accident?

Right, he says that it's strange that

only the serum for the Black Widow Spider is missing.

It's true that everything fits in too well

if it isn't an accident.

Mr. Itogawa, you're the only one who has the spare key.

Yes.

But, Mr. Itogawa, as well as Conan and the others

heard the professor scream at the same time.

Pops says to check this telephone carefully.

-The telephone? -What?

There's something shiny over here.

What?

Something is definitely inside the hole

just where the ear is to be placed.

It's a needle.

So, this is what was inside!

The tip of the needle is broken off.

What's up, Conan?

The toilet!

The tip of the needle is broken off

so you can't tell from the exterior of the telephone.

Which means that the thing that poked the professor's ear is this needle.

Then, why did he shout, "I was bitten by a Black Widow Spider"?

Yes.

Mr. Mouri!

I've heard about the circumstances from Conan.

The killer poked a Black Widow Spider on to the needle point

of the thumbtack that was rigged inside.

Take a very close look using the magnifying glass

at that dead spider over there.

-Wait. -Hey, Takagi.

I see!

Takagi, hurry and explain it to us too.

Hey, Mouri! Just what are you trying to get to?

In other words, Inspector! This is how it is...

The killer who rigged the needle into the telephone

pokes a spider that is killed beforehand onto the tip of the needle,

to make the professor mistakenly think

that he is bitten by a Black Widow Spider.

Then for the serum.

The killer steals the serum for the Black Widow Spider.

After all is done, the killer replaces the phone

and just waits for the professor to pick up the phone.

So, that's the story.

Which means that the professor died because...

Hello, Professor Shinno, this is Urazaki.

It bit me! The black widow spider bit me!

Please inject yourself with the serum! Professor! The serum!

It's gone!

The serum is gone!

All right, Mr. Mouri, goodbye then.

Inspector, the professor did not die from the venom of the spider.

Which means?

Since he's a venomous spider researcher,

he is well aware of the danger of spider venom.

He had to inject himself immediately with the serum,

but he couldn't find it.

Since the professor had a weak heart,

if cornered into such a situation.

I see, if the person has a weak heart,

the sudden stress make induce an attack.

Yes, sir.

Which means that the killer is someone

who can go in and out at will from the research lab,

as well as know about the professor's weak heart.

Just what proof do you have to say something like that?

Mr. Mouri said,

"look at the incoming calls record of the telephone".

"Urazaki Cell Phone" -12:50 pm, Urazaki cell phone.

I made the call and the professor answered.

"University Clerk Office" -5:30 pm, university clerk office.

This is yesterday's record,

it has nothing to do with today.

Strange,

Yasuda should've called the professor once before I gave him a call.

The time was 12:00 pm

because the lunch break time tone of the factory.

Oh, I seemed to have called the wrong number back then.

Will you please show me your cell phone?

She's definitely called a different number.

Huh? That cell phone's the same as Mr. Itokawa's.

What? Oh, it's just a coincidence.

Pops said that Mr. Itokawa is protecting you.

He said that you're going out with each other.

What?

Although it's already an old model,

it's unusual that you both still use the same type

but of a different color.

I see.

If you two are going with each other,

Ms. Yasuda would have the opportunity

to make a spare key from the key that Mr. Itokawa has.

Besides that, she's knowledgeable about spiders

thanks to Mr. Itogawa telling her about them.

It's not all that strange that she could've known

that the professor had a weak heart.

Wait, it's true that we're going with each other.

But, that isn't reason enough to be suspicious of her.

We've got proof.

The seal with the blue flower on it, that's in your pocket.

We saw you secretly pick it up from the floor, Mr. Itogawa.

Will you please give it to me?

That's the nail art seal that you're using, isn't it?

No, it's not.

See?

Can you show me the magazine you showed me a while ago?

Yes.

It's here.

See.

It's real!

Didn't you drop it today in this room?

If so, why did Mr. Itogawa try to hide the evidence?

You came here today before the professor came, didn't you?

Mr. Itogawa realized what you did and tried to hide the evidence.

Look at the antenna of that cell phone!

Isn't it full of scratches?

Yeah, now that you mentioned it.

There were scratches on the telephone over there too, weren't there?

I see.

She used the antenna of the cell phone

and stuck the needle into the receiver.

That's when the scratches were made.

I'm telling you, stop it!

You killed the professor

and tried to make it look as if he died accidentally.

You made Mr. Urazaki call

because you didn't want suspicion to fall upon Mr. Itogawa or yourself.

Why did you do something like this?

Whenever the professor delivers a speech at the academic conference,

it is Mr. Itogawa's research results.

I just couldn't take it anymore.

I was just hoping that the professor would be hospitalized

with a heart attack or something.

I didn't mean for it to turn out this way.

Miwa.

This is a crime that cannot be forgiven.

After all, you did take someone's life.

So, the spider was innocent after all.

Because if you take a good look at it, it's small and cute.

I guess you're right.

Conan, there's a spider on your shoulder!

Don't worry, it's not a venomous spider.

That spider's the one that was in the professor's breeding box!

What? Do something, please. Haibara!

I'm just joking!

You guys! Just keep laughing.

Next Conan's Hint:

"Cigarette"

Coming up next is a 1 hour special.

-The beautiful image. -The cursed mask.

Don't miss it.
